You may be curious to find out how products and solutions are developed, implemented, adopted, and operated. The history of standards is a fascinating place to start. Standards are well-defined, abstract interfaces that enable industries to develop and thrive. These interfaces ensure ecosystem players with different roles can work together and enable compatibility and interoperability of products built by different vendors. Standards reflect the needs, interests, and pain points of technologies at the time during which they were conceived and developed. Similar to case studies in law and business, standards can serve as a learning tool for technologists, offering domain understanding from technical and business perspectives. Studying standards history allows us to explore why certain standards emerged, what technical and business challenges they solved, and what the considerations and capabilities were during their developments.
