Clause pages
ISO/IEC 22989:2022 has five clauses. Clause 3 carries the 117 definitions in seven groups; clause 5 sets out eleven concept sections. Every clause and subclause has a page here with what the public record states, what it does not, and the work it implies for an AI governance team.
The published contents are the map of the document. Clauses 1 to 3 are public, including all the definitions. Clause 4 and the body of clause 5 are not public, so their pages state the title, the structure and the public terms they build on, and say plainly where the text stops.
