The English word 'formalization' literally means 'make formal'. (03)
Since many of the discussions in this forum have contrasted
formal definitions (represented in logic) with informal
definitions (stated in ordinary language), I had assumed
that you were talking about the process of producing formal
logic-based definitions instead of informal English definitions. (04)
In discussions about the process of producing a standard, it
might be clearer to use the word 'standardization', which would
be more directly related to standards. (05)
