48. Some Thoughtful Questions

49. Does the industry (still) need collaborative efforts to produce, refine, and support data, information and process standards? • The industry seems to continue to struggle with problems resulting from the lack of consistency, quality, compatibility, etc. in data and information as stored, as transferred, and as used. • Non-competitive, collaborative standards efforts are still needed.

50. Why are many standards not widely used or not producing intended results? • We don’t define non-competitive boundaries well? • We don’t step up to the real (full) scope? • We solve a subset? We solve under idealized conditions? • We don’t see the need to invest precious time, resources, and expertise? [self-fulfilling prophesy] • We expect standards to be 100% finished and never have to change again? • We are tempted to stand on the sidelines and let others do the heavy lifting [standards definition]?
