Given the amount that is written about the Cloud it is not surprising that many have entered various terminology and definitions into text that it can be difficult to know which are accepted industry vocabulary. Part of the work of the ISO/IEC is produce standards adopted by national bodies; thus they hold greater weight when used to identify particular technology in legal proceedings, for development reports or quotations/tenders or for training/education purposes because such vocabulary and definitions have been adopted by industry (**see more details below).
Two standards I would recommend all organisations retain a copy:
ISO/IEC 17788:2014 1st Information technology -- Cloud computing -- Overview and vocabulary JTC1/SC38 provides an overview of cloud computing along with a set of terms and definitions. It is a terminology foundation for cloud computing standards.

ISO/IEC 17789:2014 1st Information technology -- Cloud computing -- Reference architecture JTC1/SC38 specifies the cloud computing reference architecture (CCRA). The reference architecture includes the cloud computing roles, cloud computing activities, and the cloud computing functional components and their relationships

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 17788 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 38, Distributed application platforms and services (DAPS), in collaboration with ITU-T. The identical text is published as ITU-T Rec. Y.3500 (08/2014)
ISO/IEC 17789 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 38, Distributed application platforms and services (DAPS), in collaboration with ITU-T. The identical text is published as ITU-T Rec. Y.3502 (08/2014).
