Subject: RE: [office] ISO/IEC 26300


We can post it on both Ken's site and mine and not charge. OASIS, as the
originator, can post it and not charge. But JTC1 and ISO aren't in the
business of posting things; they're just not set up for that kind of
service. All they know about (!) is printing paper.

Subject: Re: [office] ISO/IEC 26300

Hmmmm... I may have misunderstood the initial request to have the spec
posted "cost free".  I assumed he meant:

"Freely Available Standards"
http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink/fetch/2000/2489/Ittf_Home/Publicl
yAvailableStandards.htm

per (e.g.,):

Freely Available ISO Standards for BPX and Developers Gunther Stuhec,
SAP Blog

Most of the ISO standards are copyrighted and ISO charges for the most
copies. It is possible to purchase it direclty by ISO or even the
related national standardization body, like DIN (German Standardization
Institute). The charge depends mostly on the pages or even size of the
standard. It is approximately 100 Swiss Francs per copy. However, in
accordance with ISO/IEC JTC 1 and the ISO and IEC Councils are a number
of standards freely available, which can be used for standardization
purposes. You'll find these freely available standard: (A) Freely
Available Standards provided by ISO, and (B) Freely Standards Download
provided by ANSI (American National Standards Institute). The Business
Process Expert (BPX) has the opportunity to get freely available ISO
standards, in where some of the playing a key part in reference models
and open distributed processing. Some of these ISO standards are:
(1) ISO/IEC 7498 - Open Systems Interconnection -- Basic Reference
Model;
(2) ISO/IEC 8613 - Open Document Architecture (ODA) and Interchange
Format; (3) ISO/IEC 8824 - Abstract Syntax Notification (ASN.1);
(4) ISO/IEC 9075 - Data Base Langauges - SQL; (5) ISO/IEC 10032 -
Reference Model of Data Management; (6) ISO/IEC 10746 - Open Distributed
Processing; (7) ISO/IEC 11179 - Metadata Registries (MDR); (8) ISO/IEC
14662 - Open-edi reference model; (9) ISO/IEC 14977 - Syntactic
metalanguage; (10) ISO/IEC 15504 - Software Engineering - Process
assessment; (11) ISO/IEC 15944 - Business agreement semantic descriptive
techniques; (12) ISO/IEC 24824 - Generic applications of ASN.1: Fast Web
Services. In other words: If you need a copy of a specific ISO standard,
please have a look to the provided websites, before you'll buy one. If
you don't find the requested standard, please inform the ECO
International Standards group, before you buy a copy.
