ISO usability standards

usability is represented by ISO 9241-11:1998 as the capability of a product for use by designated users to achieve designated goals in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction for a designated context of use.

User-Centered Design (UCD) is sometimes referred to as human-centered design. "Human-centered design is characterized by: the active involvement of users and a clear understanding of user and task requirements; an appropriate allocation of function between users and technology; the iteration of design solutions; multidisciplinary design" (ISO 13407:1999). more information at www.userfocus.co.uk/resources/iso9241/iso13407.html.

the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative creates standards for tagging and categorizing information. the DCMI Element Set is referenced by the ISO 15836 standard. more information www.dublincore.org.

ISO/IEC 25062 (ANSI 354) specifies a common industry format for reporting summative usability test results. more information zing.ncsl.nist.gov/iusr.
