Definition
- The goal of standardization is to improve efficiency of actions and interactions.
There are various degrees of technical standards:
- "Real standards" of very high formal quality adopted by bodies such as ISO, IEE, IEC, ITU, etc.
- Standards like the W3C "Recommendations" or the IETF "Requests for Comments" (RFCs) or the OASIS document standards.
- De facto standards (usually no formalization at all) like Microsoft products.
- Standards can be [[Wikipedia:Open standard�open]] or propriety. Open means publicly available, not necessarily free.
