Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

ISO 24613-5 , ISO 24613-6 and ISO 24613-7 , cancels and replaces ISO 24613:2008, which has been
divided into several parts and technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows.
This edition merges two normative annexes from the previous edition, Annex A, Morphology extension,
and Annex C, Machine-readable dictionary extension, providing a more cohesive description of the
key structures (classes and associations) found in that edition. The cross-reference (CrossREF) model
introduced in Part 1, Core model, of this edition, provides a new capability for correlating lexical
features across different form and sense classes. In addition, the CrossREF model has replaced the
ListOfComponents and Component classes, enabling a more extensible and flexible capability for
managing multiword expressions. The metamodel of generalization by typing introduced in Part 1
provides a more rigorous and unambiguous framework for applying LMF modelling mechanisms in
ways that enable greater editorial freedom and support the comparison of different LMF conformant
designs. This edition has kept most of the informative examples found in the previous edition (deleting
only a few redundant examples) and has added new examples to illustrate new modelling features.
There have been some class name changes (e.g. OrthographicRepresentation for Representation and
Translation for Equivalent), but no changes in the underlying concepts of the previously existing classes.

Introduction
The ISO 24613 series is based upon the definition of an implementation-independent metamodel
combining a core model and additional models that onomasiological (form-oriented) and semasiological
(concept-oriented) lexical content can take.
It provides guidelines for various implementation use cases, and where appropriate describes LMF
compliant serializations that fit various application contexts.
This document extends ISO 24613-1, the LMF core model, through the use of the processes and
mechanisms described in ISO 24613-1. The objective is to enable flexible design methods to support
the development of machine-readable dictionaries for different purposes while enabling cross-
comparisons of different designs and a basis for developing assessments of standards conformance.
The scope of supported design goals ranges from simple to complex human-oriented MRDs, both
monolingual and bilingual, lexicons that support conceptual-lexical systems through links with
ontological resources, rigorously constrained lexicons for supporting machine processes, and lexicons
that provide an extensional description of the morphology of lexical entries. Since this document is
based on ISO 24613-1, the LMF core model, it is designed to interchange data with other parts of the
ISO 24613 series where applicable.
