What is an Open Standard?

0

Open means all the information required to implement the standard is freely available to everyone. Anyone can develop software based on the standard, without royalty payment and without seeking a third party’s consent, on any hardware or software platform. Open means that, in principle, software from competing companies can interoperate, without loss of information and without either party being able to dictate interoperability terms to the other. The opposite of an Open Standard is a proprietary standard.
