- Software reference implementations of ICT standards have an important role for verifying that a standard is implementable, supporting interoperability testing among other implementations, and providing feedback to the standard development process. Providing reference implementations and widely used implementations of a standard as Open Source Software promotes wide deployment in software systems, interoperability, longevity of systems and associated digital assets, and avoidance of different lock-in effects. In this paper results are reported on the availability of, and perceptions and practices concerning, reference implementations and widely deployed implementations provided as Open Source Software for standards issued by different standards setting organisations. Specifically, findings draw from observations and analyses related to software implementations for identified standards and policy statements, issued by ETSI, IEC, IEEE, IETF, ISO, ITU-T, OASIS, and W3C.

Standardisation of technological innovations in agriculture : Avenues for future research on co-regulation
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Co-regulation involves consulting different stakeholders on the key aspects of a regulatory process. The aim of this explorative study is to examine current challenges of co-regulation drawing on the example of standardization in the context of agricultural innovations and to point out avenues for future research. To this end, we reviewed current literature on co-regulation and compiled interviews with experts from agriculture on the challenges of co-regulation especially in standardization. Four research questions, which we regard as central, could be derived. Two questions deal with the standardization work of technical committees on technological innovations in agriculture, and two questions relate to the agricultural businesses that the standards eventually implement.

Implementing the HEVC standard in software : Challenges and Recommendations for organisations planning development and deployment of software

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Implementation and use of an IT standard in software involves legal, technical and societal challenges. This paper addresses how an organisation can, and should, determine the conditions for implementation and use of the HEVC standard in software. The investigation considers the availability of the standard’s complete technical specification and the extent to which an organisation can access the information necessary to assess the licence conditions for standard essential patents impinging on the standard. Through an action case study approach the investigation analyses declarations in patent databases relevant to the standard and seeks to obtain patent licences from each declarant permitting implementation of the standard in software, where that software is to be provided under one (or several) of three specific open source software licences, and alternatively to be provided as an online service. Our analysis of legal and licensing conditions for use of the standard shows significant obstacles. We find that it is impossible to obtain licences from patent holders that would allow for implementation and use of the standard in open source software. The paper illuminates significant challenges related to conditions for use of the standard under (F)RAND terms and identifies that references to the standard in public procurement projects lead to anti-competitive effects.
