DANSK DS/ISO 9707 PDF

This International Standard gives guidance on the keeping of statistics to provide standardized information on various aspects of the production and distribution of printed, electronic and micro-publications (essentially books, newspapers and periodicals) in a particular country.
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following types of publications are excluded:
a) Publications issued for advertising purposes, provided that the literary or scientific text is subsidiary
and that the publications are distributed free of charge; these include:
. trade catalogues, prospectuses and other types of commercial, industrial and tourist advertising;
. publications advertising products or services supplied by the publisher, even though they may
describe activities or technical progress in some branch of industry or commerce.
b) Publications considered to be of a transitory character; typical examples are:
. timetables, price-lists, telephone directories;
. programmes of entertainments, exhibitions, fairs;
. company regulations, reports and directives and circulars;
. calendars;
. electronic texts under development.
c) Publications in which the text is not the most important part; these include:
. printed music documents provided that the music is more important than the words;
. maps and charts (with the exception of atlases), e.g. astronomical charts, hydrographical and
geographical maps, wall maps, road maps, geological surveys in map form and topographical plans.
