“Standards and interoperability are two sides of the same coin,” says ISO Vice-President Jacob Holmblad. “The rationale behind standards – whether for products, terminology, symbols or systems – is precisely to make “things fit together”, so that all stakeholders can communicate and understand each other seamlessly. This principle is the first and foremost prerequisite for effective interoperability.” This edition highlights some key examples of standards that are facilitating interopera-bility of products, services, processes and knowledge, such as for financial services. or interfaces for universal remote consoles for piloting a wide range of electronic devices in the “intelligent home”.
