Trying to describe general rules for the use of double and single quotes we find the following cases: 1. When we want to make reference to the word itself rather than the meaning we enclose the word in single quotes. E.g. The word 'greywacke' has had a number of different definitions. 2. double quotation marks may be used to indicate an informal name or term. E.g. The "lower member" consists of sandstone with minor shale 3. Single quotation marks or italics may be used for titles In any case the use of quotation marks for informal terms should be reduced to the absolute minimum. However in the ISO text of CRM all appellations are in double quotes.
