[Formati] ITD - Open Standards Open Source

[Roberto Galoppini]

Definizione di Open Standard della divisione informatica dello stato del
Massachussetts:

Open Standards: Specifications for systems that are publicly available
and are developed by an open community and affirmed by a standards body.
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is an example of an open standard. Open
standards imply that multiple vendors can compete directly based on the
features and performance of their products. It also implies that the
existing information technology solution is portable and that it can be
removed and replaced with that of another vendor with minimal effort and
without major interruption (see current version of the Enterprise
Technical Reference Model).
