Open specifications
An Open Specification is a document created & controlled by an open & fair association or a standardization body intending to achieve interoperability and interchangeability. An open specification is not controlled by a single company, individual or by a group with discriminatory membership criteria. Copies of Open Specifications are available free of charge or for a moderate fee and can be implemented under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminating terms by all interested parties. Open Specifications should not be confused with open standards which are endorsed by a regulatory governmental agency.
