standard

standard> Standards are necessary for interworking,portability, and reusability. They may be de factostandards for various communities, or officially recognisednational or international standards.

Andrew Tanenbaum, in his Computer Networks book, once said,"The nice thing about standards is that there are so many ofthem to choose from", a reference to the fact that competingstandards become a source of confusion, division,obsolescence, and duplication of effort instead of anenhancement to the usefulness of products.

Some bodies concerned in one way or another with computingstandards are IAB (RFC and STD), ISO, ANSI, DoD,ECMA, IEEE, IETF, OSF, W3C.
