Why is Marlin based on an open, standards-driven community development process?
Marlin is developed with the input of many interested parties primarily to drive the adoption in the market. The technology should support the market needs, not the other way around, and an open process ensures that the interests of value chain participants across many vertical markets are represented and reflected in the specifications and technology enhancements that emerge. The process also ensures interoperability while allowing for business differentiation in implementation.
