ISO/TR 9544:1988, titled "Glossary of terms used in computer-assisted publishing," provides definitions for terms relevant to computer-assisted publishing. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the specific content of ISO/TR 9544:1988 or its terms as they may be copyrighted material. However, I can provide some general insight into what might be covered in such a glossary:
Computer-Assisted Publishing (CAP): The use of computers in various stages of the publishing process, including writing, editing, designing, and distributing printed or electronic materials.
Desktop Publishing (DTP): A specific subset of computer-assisted publishing focused on using personal computers and software to produce printed documents.
Markup Language: A system for annotating text to indicate elements such as headings, paragraphs, lists, and formatting instructions. Examples include HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and XML (eXtensible Markup Language).
Digital Typography: The design and layout of text for electronic display or print using computer software and fonts.
PostScript: A page description language developed by Adobe Systems commonly used in desktop publishing and printing.
Raster Image: An image composed of pixels arranged in a grid, suitable for display on screen or printing.
Vector Graphics: Graphics represented by mathematical equations rather than pixels, allowing for scalability without loss of quality.
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get): A user interface that allows content creators to see a representation of the final output as they work on it, typically used in desktop publishing software.
