There are many standards that have multiple ownership. For example, most
JTC1 standards are shared by both ISO and IEC, but in this case they have
the same number and publication date. Of more importance, is the large set
of standards published jointly by JTC1 and ITU-T, which have totally
different numbering schemes and are typically approved on totally different
cycles, so that an ISO 2001 standard can be an ITU-T 2003 standard.
