[Excerpt from Introduction to 18022] "Many of the value domains needed for use in Electronic Commerce are bounded sets in the sense that the value domain and the set of permitted values in that domain are pre-defined and enumerated in the standard. Most of these are of the nature of "codes representing X". From a global Electronic Commerce perspective, standardization work is required for the identification and referencing of such objects in an unambiguous, linguistically neutral, IT-processable and Electronic Commerce-facilitated manner. These standards need to be re-cast in a computer processable form in order to support more fully the objective of computational integrity, a key part of IT-enablement and in a manner which supports localization and multilingual requirements".
