11 Conformance

11.5.1 Standard identification

Standard identification shall be in the natural language of the documentation.

Standard identification text shall be displayed prominently:

1. in a prominent location in the front matter of all publications (normally the title page and cover page);

2. on all identifying display screens of HyTime programs; and

3. in all promotional and training material.

For applications, the identification text is:

A HyTime application conforming to
International Standard ISO/IEC 10744 --
Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language

For systems, the identification text is:

A HyTime system conforming to
International Standard ISO/IEC 10744 --
Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language

11.5.2 Identification of HyTime constructs

The documentation shall distinguish HyTime constructs from application conventions and system functions, and shall identify the HyTime constructs as being part of the Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language.

NOTE 377 The objective of this requirement is for the user to be aware of which constructs are common to all HyTime systems, and which are unique to this one. This will reduce the experienced user's learning time for a new system or application.

This International Standard shall be cited as a reference for supported HyTime constructs that are not specifically documented for the system or application. For example, if, for simplicity's sake, only a subset of some function is presented (such as by omitting some of the options of the fcsloc element form), it shall be stated clearly that other options exist and can be found in this International Standard.

11.5.3 Terminology

All HyTime constructs shall be introduced using the terminology of this International Standard, translated to the national language used by the publication or program.

Such standard terminology should be used throughout the documentation. If, notwithstanding, a non-standard equivalent is used for a standard term, it must be introduced in context and it shall not conflict with any standard HyTime terms, including terms for unsupported or undocumented constructs.
