This document establishes a systematic description of the concepts in the field of biometrics pertaining
to recognition of human beings. This document also reconciles variant terms in use in pre-existing
International Standards on biometrics against the preferred terms, thereby clarifying the use of terms
in this field.
This document does not cover concepts (represented by terms) from information technology, pattern
recognition, biology, mathematics, etc. Biometrics uses such fields of knowledge as a basis.
In principle, mode-specific terms are outside of scope of this document.
