Proceedings of the 41st Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS 2008)
Waikoloa, Big Island, Hawaii
January 07-January 10
ISBN: 0-7695-3075-3
This project uses empirical data to provide insights into the impact of open standards. This work moves beyond the existing literature by considering a large number of open standards, instead of handpicked case studies. The results of this research will be timely, as governments are advocating and sometimes mandating the use of open standards. We found inequalities in the impact of open standards that suggest a power law relationship, found that the duration of the development process does not affect the impact of a standard, and found the length of a standard (number of words), which reflects the technical complexity of a standard, affects the impact of a standard.
