 Open
Standard(s) – (Open Architecture) – In
this scenario, specifications
are non-proprietary so add-on products
(those that enhance the product such as plug-ins)
can be created
and integrated into the system more easily. Often open standards
product’s
specifications are made public, as is the case with Linux. Lack of Open
Standards
can slow down development and adoption of a technology. An "Open
Standard" might be mistaken for a "De Facto Standard",
(meaning a
standard that exists because of its
widespread
use, such as Microsoft Windows). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_standard
