Format of standard titles

ISO[/IEC] [/ASTM] [IS] nnnn[-p]:[yyyy] Title
nnnn is the (usually randomly chosen) number of the standard.
p is an optional part number.
yyyy is the year in which the standard was published.
Title describes the standard's subject.
/IEC is included if the standard is the result of the ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee).

Technical committees (TC) -- ISO/IEC JTC 1 Information Technology

ISO develops their standards in technical committees which are identified by ISO/TC n where TC stands for «technical committee» and n is a running number that is increased when a new technical committee is formed.
These technical committees cover about anything imaginable. For example, ISO/TC 19 is about preferred numbers, ISO/TC 37 about Language and terminology, ISO/TC 46 about Information and documentation, ISO/TC 68 about Financial Services, ISO/TC 299 is about Robotics.
There seems even to be a proposed(?) committee to deal with sex toys, ISO/PC 325

ISO/IEC JTC 1 Information Technology

I am particularly interested in ISO/IEC JTC 1 (Information Technology). The J in JTC indicates that this is a joint technical committee because it is (jointly) steered by two organizations: ISO and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)
As of 2020-02-27, JTC 1 has published 3236 standards.
JTC 1, being a committee itself, is also organized into subcommittees (SC), working groups (WG) and advisory groups (AG), for example JTC 1/AG 3 deals with open source, JTC 1/WG 11 with smart cities, JTC 1/SC 2 with coded character sets, JTC 1/SC 22 with programming languages, their einvornments and system softwware interfaces, JTC 1/SC 32 with Data management and interchange.
Some (all?) of these subcommittes are further divided into working groups. For example JTC 1/SC 32 into
  • WG 1: eBusiness
  • WG 2: metadata
  • WG 3: database languages
  • WG 4: SQL Multimedia & Application packages

Mirroring of ISO and ANSI

Apparently, the organization between ISO/IEC and some national standardization organizations is mirrorred, at least partially:
ISO/IEC ANSI
JTC 1 INCITS (InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards)
SC 32 DM 32 (Data Management and Interchange)
WG 3 DM 32.2 (Database)
? DM 32.2 Ad Hoc (specific short-term task(s) SQL extensions for property graphs)
