ISO 3166   Codes for the representation of names of countries.
           This standard defines a 2-letter, a 3-letter and a numeric
           code for each country on this planet. E.g. US/USA/840=
           United States, DE/DEU/276=Germany, GB/GBR/826=United
           Kingdom, FR/FRA/250=France, ...)
           The 2-letter codes are well known in the Internet as top-level
           domain names. The 3-letter versions are often used at
           international sports events.

ISO 4217   Codes for the representation of currencies and funds

ISO 5218   Representation of human sexes
           Sex is represented by a one-character language independent
           numerical code: 0=not known, 1=male, 2=female, 9=not 
           specified. The standard also specifies, that "no significance
           is to be placed on the fact that 'Male' is coded '1' and 
           'Female' is coded '2'.  This standard was developed based 
           upon predominant practice of the countries involved and does 
           not convey any meaning of importance, ranking or any other 
           basis that could imply discrimination." :-)

ISO 6429   ASCII Control Codes. Subsets of these are also known as

ISO 6709   Representation of latitude, longitude and altitude of
           geographic positions

ISO 7816   Chip cards. Specifies the dimensions, connector locations,
           electrical specifications, the lower layer protocol format
           (bidirectional 9600 bits/s async. serial) and the format
           of some common data packets of smart cards.

ISO 8601   Representation of dates and times.
           This standard defines a lot of details of the calendar.
           E.g. the ISO definition of the week numbers is that the 
           first day (day number 1) of a week is Monday and that the 
           first week in a year (week number 1) is the week that includes
           the first Thursday in January, i.e. the first week that has at
           least four days in January. Other definitions are, e.g., that 
           hours of a day are counted from 0 to 24 and that the
           international notation of dates is the Bigendian format 
           year-month-day, e.g. 1993-04-17 and that for time is e.g.
           20:36:04 (hh:mm:ss). There are also string formats for
           computer applications specified that have to represent
           date and time in files and protocol packets. (See
           ftp.uni-erlangen.de:pub/doc/ISO/ISO8601.ps.Z for a
           very detailed summary.)

ISO 8632   Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM). This standard defines
           a file format for 2D vector graphics. Part 1 defines the
           graphic elements (lines, filled polygons, text, colors, ...)
           that may appear in a CGM and the other parts define 3 different
           encodings for these graphic elements:

              Character encoding:  compact ASCII encoding, useful if
                                   CGM files have to be transported
                                   over not binary-transparent channels
                                   (e.g. e-mail, character set converter)
              Binary encoding:     this is the most often implemented
                                   CGM encoding, because it is both
                                   efficient and easy to implement.
              Clear text encoding: a human readable textual encoding.

           This standard format might be exactly what you need if you
           want to store pictures that can be drawn by the usual graphic
           library functions (move, line, set_color, set_linestyle, ...)
           in an resolution-independend way. The format is simple and
           easy to understand. The new 1992 revision of the CGM standard
           contains many additional graphic elements (splines, rendering
           options for ends and joins of thick lines, several color
           models, high quality fonts, grouping of graphical elements, ...)
           that make this format capable of storing images with the quality
           you are used to get from Postscript, Corel Draw, Framemaker,
           etc. The main difference between CGM and Postscript is that
           Postscript is a full programming language while CGM is just
           a simple list of graphical elements which makes CGM suitable
           for reediting.

           "Latin alphabet No. 1" has become widely implemented and may
           already be seen as the de-facto standard ASCII replacement.

ISO 10646  A 32-bit character set called UCS containing (nearly) all 
           characters used on this planet that will hopefully solve 
           most of the character set troubles with computers one day. 
           Today only the 16-bit subset UCS-2 has been defined, also 
           known as 'Unicode' that is expected to become pretty
           popular soon and will be supported by Windows NT, Plan 9
           and other new operating systems.
