5. © OASIS 2010 What is an Open Standard? An open standard is: publicly available in stable, persistent versions developed and approved under a published, transparent process open to public input: public comments, public archives, no NDAs, multiple stakeholder sides licensable under to explicit, feasible IPR terms Anything else is proprietary: Using methods from a single company, or close group, may be fine: but different risks than using standards Government and industry RFPs increasingly demand open standards, for modularity & sourcing

6. © OASIS 2010 Real-world installations are composed of multiple standards IP TCP URIs SMTP IMAP / POP3 HTML ASCII / Unicode Typical e-mail

7. © OASIS 2010 Big networks (like the Internet and the SmartGrid) necessarily are modular: multiple legitimate ways to do things

8. © OASIS 2010 Multiple standards may co-exist Simpler More complex Lightweight codeHeavyweight code, more functionality Easier to tool, deployBigger tools, higher cost Loose coupling to other methodsMore exclusive Limited use caseHighly scalable Innovation & interoperability require modularity & flexibility
