ISO
The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers such as 100, 400, etc. The higher the number, the more sensitive it is to light. As with film, the higher speeds usually induce more electronic noise so the image gets grainier. ISO is the abbreviation for International Standards Organization. (In the good old days it was known as the "ASA film speed.")

ISO
"ISO" is a word derived from the Greek isos, meaning "equal". It is the root of the prefix "iso-", as in "isometric" (of equal measure or dimensions) or "isonomy" (equality of laws, or of people before the law). The choice of "ISO" as the name for the organization implies "equal" or "standard". It also avoids the plethora of acronyms resulting from the translation of the actual name of the organization, "International Organization for Standardization". (It would be IOS in English and OIN in French; Organisation Internationale de Normalisation). The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from some 130 countries, one from each country. ISO is a non-governmental organization established in 1947. Its mission is to promote the development of standardization and related activities in the world with a view to facilitating the international exchange of goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. ISO's work results in international agreements that are published as International Standards. The scope of ISO covers all technical fields except electrical and electronic engineering, which is the responsibility of IEC. A joint ISO/IEC technical committee carries out the work in the field of information technology. Among well known ISO standards are: The ISO film speed code, among many other photographic equipment standards, has been adopted worldwide. The ISO 9000 business standards that provide a framework for quality management and quality assurance.

ISO
A prefix denoting similarity. Many organic substances, although composed of the same number of the same atoms. appear in two, three, or more varieties or isomers which differ widely in physical and chemical properties. In petroleum fractions there are many substances that are similar, differing only in specific gravity, for example, isooctane, isobutane, isopentane, and many other isomers.

ISO image
An ISO image (.iso) is a disk image of an ISO 9660 file system. ISO 9660 is an international standard originally devised for storing data on CD-ROM. More loosely, it refers to any optical disc image, even a UDF image.
As is typical for disc images, in addition to the data files that are contained in the ISO image, it also contains all the filesystem metadata, including boot code, structures, and attributes. All of this information is contained in a single file. These properties make it an attractive alternative to physical media for the distribution of software that requires this additional information as it is simple to retrieve over the Internet.
