10:00 – 10:30 Standards as a Service
  • Albert Wu
  • R&E community relies on standards to interoperate.
  • Just like services, standards are only useful if they meet the needs of the “customers”, and that they are maintained.
  • Evolving services to meet changing needs requires financial resources, time, and customers participation. Have you considered…
  • Who maintain the standards we all use today? Who pays for that maintenance? How do we make sure the work is sustainable and continue to meet our evolving needs in a timely manner?
  • We should think of standards curation much the same way we do with service delivery. If we do, how might we change the approach we take to curate standards today?
