Standardization Drives Digital Economy with Key Players and Norms
Standardization, the process of developing technical specifications, plays a pivotal role in the digital economy. A prime example is the HTTP protocol, which facilitates data exchange on the internet. Key players in this field include consortia, forums, and standards development organizations (SDOs) like W3C, OASIS, IETF, IEEE, and Ecma.
Norms, a specific subset of standards, are created through consensus and govern rules or characteristics for products, services, or processes. ISO 27001, for instance, is a widely recognized norm for information security management. Organizations like ISO, IEC, and ITU drive standardization at international levels, while the EU-Kommission coordinates efforts in Europe. National bodies, such as the KDSF in Germany, also play a crucial role. These standards ensure interoperability and are usually freely available, fostering market access and regulation.
Standardization, through norms and standards, is a cornerstone of the digital economy. It enables seamless interaction between technologies and promotes market growth. Key organizations at international, European, and national levels collaborate to develop and maintain these crucial specifications.
