Both of these along with AES established a long and stringent series OS standards...what level, how many volts, what is stereo vs mono, etc, How should projects be prepared to be sent from recordist so to mixers to mastering plants to reproduction houses...all these things have established measurements, which are explained in universal terminologies so everyone (is supposed to) understand each other.
Just an example...moving a collection of recorded tracks from one place to another, to be further worked by someone else. Some DAW call this process 'export,' some call it 'bounce,' others call it 'copy in.' Then there's the idea of 32float vs. 24 fixed vs. something else; consolidated with or without effects, just tracks or the unique overlay instructions every DAW uses, etc etc etc. each step of this process can use a completely different set of words to describe the same thing.
See what I mean about confusion?
