ISO/IEC TR 14369:2018为开发信息技术服务及其接口规范的相关人员提供了指南，这些规范旨在供服务客户使用，尤其是外部应用程序使用，这些应用程序不一定都共享一种特定编程语言的环境和假设。这些指南没有直接或完全涵盖服务或接口规范的所有方面，但它们确实涵盖了实现语言独立性所需的方面，即使规范与调用服务的语言环境无关所需的方面。这些指导原则主要涉及服务和使用该服务的外部应用程序之间的接口，包括服务本身已经用语言指定的特殊情况- 依赖的方式，但需要从其他语言的环境中调用。ISO/IEC TR 10182已经解决了语言绑定问题，通过提供有关如何将这两个文档结合使用的建议来解决。 ISO/IEC TR 14369:2018为开发过程的管理提供了技术指南，而非组织或行政指南，尽管在某些情况下，技术指南可能具有组织或行政含义。

ISO/IEC TR 14369:2018 provides guidelines to those concerned with developing specifications of information technology services and their interfaces intended for use by clients of the services, in particular by external applications that do not necessarily all share the environment and assumptions of one particular programming language. The guidelines do not directly or fully cover all aspects of service or interface specifications, but they do cover those aspects required to achieve language independence, i.e. required to make a specification neutral with respect to the language environment from which the service is invoked. The guidelines are primarily concerned with the interface between the service and the external applications making use of the service, including the special case where the service itself is already specified in a language-dependent way but needs to be invoked from environments of other languages. Language bindings, already addressed by ISO/IEC TR 10182, are dealt with by providing advice on how to use the two documents together. ISO/IEC TR 14369:2018 provides technical guidelines, rather than organizational or administrative guidelines for the management of the development process, though in some cases the technical guidelines can have organizational or administrative implications.
