ISO ==>
International Organization for Standardization
<standard, body> (ISO) A voluntary, nontreaty organisation founded in
1946, responsible for creating international standards in many areas, including
computers and communications. Its members are the national standards
organisations of 89 countries, including the American National Standards
Institute.
ISO produced the OSI seven layer model for network architecture.
The term "ISO" is not actually an acronym for anything. It is a pun on the Greek
prefix "iso-", meaning "same". Some ISO documents say ISO is not an acronym even
though it is an anagram of the initials of the organisation's name.
