Standards
- Standards are needed to build
programs and software that work
on different systems.
- Standards can be de jure or de facto.
- De Jure
- De jure standards are those which have been approved by
formal authorities like the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- De Facto
- De facto standards are those
which have been accepted as
the best standard for their
purpose.
- Proprietary standards
- Standards can be either proprietary or open.
- Proprietary Standard
- These are designed, created, maintained and
controlled by a licence agreement which is owned
by an organisation or individual, ie privately
owned.
- Proprietary standards may be free to use, but
the file specification is often closed rather than
being open.
- Open Standard
- Open standards are usually controlled by a Creative
Commons licence or they are unlicensed.
- They can be used by anyone and are not owned by a
commercial organisation or individual.
- They will have been developed by experts
collaborating online.
- Compatibility
- This means that different types of files, software or
hardware are able to work together
