Overview

ISO 259-2:1994 - Information and documentation - Transliteration of Hebrew characters into Latin characters - Part 2: Simplified transliteration - specifies a simplified, machine-friendly system for converting Hebrew script into Latin characters. Developed to ease bibliographic processing (catalogues, indices, citations), this Part simplifies the more stringent rules of ISO 259:1984 (Part 1) while retaining unambiguous conversion principles to support automated transmission and reconstitution of Hebrew graphisms.

Key topics and requirements

Scope: A simplified transliteration (romanization) system for Hebrew to Latin characters intended primarily for bibliographic and indexing workflows.

Character-by-character approach: Conversion is ideally performed character by character to support reversibility and machine processing.

Levels of conversion: Distinguishes stringent (fully reversible), simplified (this standard), and popular (national/press) conversions; this Part defines the simplified level.

Transliteration tables: Provides tables for consonants, vowels, non‑Hebrew phonemes and abbreviation symbols to standardize mapping.

Use of digraphs/diacritics: When Latin letters are insufficient, digraphs or diacritical marks are used to preserve distinctions; diacritics follow ISO 5426 code-table references (Annex A).

Abbreviation and punctuation rules: Specifies how Hebrew abbreviation symbols (single or double geresh/gereshayim, period) are rendered in Latin script.

Retransliteration: Enables reconstitution of original Hebrew characters from the transliteration; simplified rules may accept limited national or machine‑driven variants.

Limitations: Not designed to represent accurate pronunciation for readers of other languages - the goal is univocal graphism mapping, not phonetic transcription.

Applications and users

Who benefits:

Librarians, cataloguers and archivists standardizing bibliographic records and authority files.

Metadata specialists and data managers building searchable library/catalog databases.

Indexers and publishers preparing citations and bibliographies that must interoperate internationally.

Software developers implementing romanization modules, search indexing, and data interchange for library systems and digital humanities projects.

Practical uses:

Consistent romanization for catalogue entries, authority control, and cross‑language indexing

Machine-readable bibliographic conversion and automated reconstitution of original Hebrew text

Standardized metadata interchange between institutions and countries
