Abstract / scope

This simplification of the stringent rules established by ISO 233:1984 is especially intended to facilitate the processing of bibliographic information (e.g. catalogues, indices, citations, etc.). Annex A gives the diacritical signs used (taken from the code table of ISO 5436:1983).
