== ISO 233-2:1993 ==
'''ISO 233-2:1993''' is an [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]] schema for the simplified transliteration of Arabic characters into Roman characters and is dedicated to "Arabic language – Simplified transliteration".
This transliteration system was adopted as an amendment to ISO 233:1984. It is used mainly in library context, and was introduced because ISO 233 was not meeting the indexing purposes, which are essential for the consistency of library catalogs.
According to ISO 233-2(1993), Arabic words are vocalized prior to romanization.
ISO 233-2 is used in [[France|French]] libraries<ref>[http://guideducatalogueur.bnf.fr/ABN/GPC.nsf/C00F8804C7C3E372C12576A8002BED96/$FILE/Translitteration%20arabe.htm?OpenElement Translittération des caractères arabes en caractères latins - Partie 2: Langue arabe - Translittération simplifiée] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305080709/http://guideducatalogueur.bnf.fr/ABN/GPC.nsf/C00F8804C7C3E372C12576A8002BED96/$FILE/Translitteration%20arabe.htm?OpenElement |date=2016-03-05 }} (2010)</ref> and in [[North Africa]]n libraries, and is recommended by [[ISSN]] for establishing key titles when cataloguing serials.
== ISO 233-3:1999 ==
ISO 233-3:1999 is dedicated to "Persian language – Simplified transliteration".
