About the Common Assessment Method for Standards and Specifications (CAMSS) 

CAMSS is the European guide for assessing and selecting standards and specifications for an eGovernment project, a reference when building an architecture and an enabler for justifying the choice of standards and specifications in terms of interoperability needs and requirements. It is fully aligned with the European Standardisation Regulation 1025/2012. 

CAMSS Assessment 

CAMSS Assessment is a solution which corresponds to the output of an assessment of a standard, technical specification or standard developing/setting organisation using the CAMSS Assessment EIF Scenario. Each assessment produced is considered a CAMSS Assessment once it is approved by the CAMSS Team. Any approved assessment is published by the CAMSS Team and publicly available in Joinup. 

Codes for the representation of names of languages-- Part 2: alpha-3 code (ISO 639-2) 2.0

Assessment of Codes for the representation of names of languages-- Part 2: alpha-3 code (ISO 639-2) 2.0 with the Common assessment method for standards and technical specifications (CAMSS). 

(ISO 639-2) is a set of three-letter codes for the representation of the name of languages. ISO 639-2 is an ISO standard and lists a total of 487 codes. The specification is one of the language standards used by the Publications Office of the European Union (OP) for defining the EU ‘language’ code list. Some European platforms, such as eForms, have adopted this tailored code list as a reusable interoperability solution.  

The specification has been developed and maintained by the Library of Congress (LOC) and the International Standards Organization (ISO).

The assessment has been performed with the CAMSS Assessment EIF Scenario v5.0.0.
