Actors Formal Standards Long development time Focus on conformance Restricted membership Complex governance Requires endorsement e.g. ISO, CEN Consortium Specifications Medium development time Focus on adoption Restricted membership Commercial-style governance Requires money e.g. IMS, OASIS Community Specifications Short development time Focus on interoperability Open membership Lightweight governance Requires geekiness e.g. OpenID, microformats
Types Validation: one or more implementations exist, but are not recognized by governments (ISO OOXML) Anticipatory: Potential for new implementations if enabled by a common Spec. (HTML, Bluetooth) Harmonization: Multiple specifications Exist, but have enough commonality to be standardized (MLO-AD, W3C Widgets)
Approaches TRADITIONAL MODEL.Sequential Process
