The PostgreSQL documentation defines information_schema.triggers as:
 The view triggers contains all triggers defined in the current database that are owned by the current user. (The owner
ofthe table is the owner of the trigger.)
 

SQL:1999 defines the TRIGGERS view as:
 Identify the triggers in this catalog that are owned by a given user.

SQL:2003 (Working Draft) says:
 Identify the triggers on tables in this catalog that are accessible to a given user or role.

Apparently PostgreSQL implements the SQL:1999 specification of
information_schema.triggers.
