Control Standards with Standards-based Technologies

The development and distribution of technical standards is critical to society at the national and international level. Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) are among the only institutions with both commercial and governmental responsibilities, and are the primary mechanism by which technologies and practices are enabled to interoperate across industries and borders. Standards promote cooperation and ensure safety, as long as the documents expressing them are accessible, authentic and up-to-date. The duel requirements of standards documents to be both controlled and easily accessed by those who need them presents unique challenges that FileOpen's technology is designed to address.

The choice of SDOs worldwide since 1996

FileOpen's first large-scale implementations were developed for distribution of standards. The FileOpen technology has been built in cooperation with our SDO licensees with the ultimate goal of becoming, like PDF, a de facto standard for the SDO community.

Example Document
