Open: The Importance of Standards in Engineering

Overview:

Standards generally go unnoticed. They are mostly quiet, unseen forces, such as specifications, regulations, and protocols, that ensure that things work properly, interactively, and responsibly. How standards come about is a mystery to most people should they even ponder the question.” John Gibbons, Forward to U. S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment TCT-512, Global Standards: Building Blocks for the Future, March 1992.
