Appendix A A-6 Standard Developing Organizations The IEEE name was originally an acronym for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. http://www.ieee.org/portal/site. UN/CEFACT (United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business). A United Nations Center whose mission it is to provide an open, XML-based infrastructure that enables the global use of electronic business information in an interoperable, secure and consistent matter by trading all partners. < http: //unece.org/cefact/> OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards). A not-for-profit consortium that drives the development, convergence and adoption of open standards for the global information society. The consortium produces web services standards and standards for security, e-business and standardization efforts in the public sector and for application-specific markets. Oasis has over 5,000 participants representing over 600 organizations and individual members in 100 countries. Members set the OASIS technical Agenda. Completed work is ratified by open ballot. The consortium hosts two of the most widely respected information portals of XML and Web service standards, Cover Pages and XML.Org. OASIS member sections include Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) Open IDtrust, Legal XML and Open CSA. http://www.oasis-open.org/home/index.php. OTA (The Open Travel Alliance). A not-for-profit trade association founded in 1999 by travel companies to create electronic massage structures to facilitate communication between the disparate systems in the global travel industries. OTA is comprised of companies representing airlines, car rental firms, hotels, cruise lines, railways, leisure suppliers, service providers, tour operators, travel agencies, solution providers, technology companies and distributors. OTA’s mission is to engineer specifications that make data transmission flow smoothly throughout travel, tourism and hospitality industries. OTA creates, expands and drives adoption of open universal data specifications, including but not limited to the use of XML, for the electronic exchange of business information of all sectors of the travel industry. http://www.opentravel.org/. IATA (International Air Transport Association). The global trade organization of air transport. For over 60 years IATA has developed the commercial standards that built a global industry. Its members comprise of over 240 airlines, the world leading passenger cargo among them—representing 94% of the worlds scheduled international air traffic. http://www.iata.org/index.htm. ISO (International Organization for Standards). Is a network of the national standards institute of 157 countries that coordinate the system. Each country has one member with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland. ISO is a non-governmental organization: Its members are not as is the case in the United Nations system, delegations of national governments. Nevertheless, ISO occupies a special position between the public and private sectors. This is because, on one hand, many of its member institutes are part of the governmental structure of their countries, or are mandated by their government. On the other hand, other members have their roots uniquely in the private sector, having been set up by the national partnership of industry associations. Therefore, ISO is able to act as a bridging organization in which a consensus can be reached on solutions that

Appendix A A-7 meet both requirements of business and the broader needs of society, such as the needs of stakeholder groups like consumers and users. While ISO defines its self as a non-governmental organization (NGOs). Its practice ISO acts as a consortium with strong links to governments. Standards set by ISO include Technical Reports, Technical Specifications, ISO/ International Electro Technical Commission (IEC) Joint Technical Committee. http://www.iso.org/error/sitedown.html. ANSI (American National Standards Institute). Empowers its members and constituents to strengthen the U.S. marketplace position in the global economy while helping to assure the safety and health of consumers and the protection of the environment. The Institute oversees the creation, promulgation and use of thousands of norms and guidelines that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector: from acoustical devices to construction equipment, from dairy and livestock production to energy distribution, and many more. ANSI is also actively engaged in accrediting programs that assess conformance to standards – including globally-recognized cross-sector programs such as the ISO 9000 (quality) and ISO 14000 (environmental) management systems. NISS (National Institute of Statistical Sciences). Was established in 1991 by the national statistics societies and the Research Triangle universities and organizations, with the mission to identify, catalyze and foster high-impact, cross-disciplinary research involving the statistical sciences. Our strategic vision, adopted in 2004, calls for a NISS that is a truly national institute, serving the statistical sciences community by: Performing and stimulating high-impact research at critical interfaces between statistics and disciplinary science, as well as between industry/government and academia. Supporting career development at all levels, with special emphasis on postdoctorals. Engaging the national community in a variety of activities, especially but not exclusively by means of the affiliates programs and SAMSI.
