11179-2: Classification
This part of ISO/IEC 11179
provides a conceptual model for managing classification schemes. There are many
structures used to organize classification schemes and there are many subject
matter areas that classification schemes describe. So, this Part also provides
a two-faceted classification for classification schemes themselves.

11179-4: Formulation of data definition
This part of ISO/IEC 11179
provides guidance on how to develop unambiguous data definitions. A number of
specific rules and guidelines are presented in ISO/IEC 11179-4 that specify
exactly how a data definition should be formed. A precise, well-formed definition
is one of the most critical requirements for shared understanding of an
administered item; well-formed definitions are imperative for the exchange of
information. Only if every user has a common and exact understanding of the
data item can it be exchanged trouble-free.

11179-5: Naming and identification principles
This
part of ISO/IEC 11179 provides
guidance for the identification of administered items. Identification is a
broad term for designating, or identifying, a particular data item.
Identification can be accomplished in various ways, depending upon the use of
the identifier. Identification includes the assignment of numerical identifiers
that have no inherent meanings to humans; icons (graphic symbols to which
meaning has been assigned); and names with embedded meaning, usually for human
understanding, that are associated with the data item's definition and value
domain.

part of ISO/IEC 11179 provides

central Registration Authority and the allocation of unique identifiers for
each data item. Maintenance of administered items already registered is also
specified in this document.
