IEEE 2000.1-1998

To identify terms and concepts pertinent to the resolution of the year 2000 issue and to provide definitions of these terms and descriptions of these concepts.

To provide a common lexicon with descriptions and definitions to the information technology industry for use in the development of year 2000 solutions.

New IEEE Standard - Superseded. This standard provides concepts, definitions, remediation techniques, and other supporting terms fundamental to a lexicon for Year 2000 terminology. It addresses key topics pertinent to the development of resolutions to the Year 2000 problem. The core of this standard is the definitions section which contains the definition for Year 2000 compliance. Two critical aspects of this definition are: first, the acknowledgment of the significance of documentation associated with technology, and, second, the recognition that compliance is a two-way street, i.e. the proper exchange of date data is paramount for technology to remain compliant.
