IBM threatens to leave standard organizations for software interoperability
One of the most vocal rivals of a file format formed by Microsoft and accepted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) - IBM is threatening to back out standard body for software interoperability, over the distresses that their processes are not always fair.
On Tuesday it has released a new set of open standards principles in which it informed the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and other standards groups it would withdraw of any process it believes be short of “quality and openness”.
In the new set of open standards it clearly refers competitor Microsoft and advised encouraging standards bodies to not to involve any undue influence on their decisions.
Earlier this year IBM was approved as an international standard by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Andrew Updegrove, a legal representative with Gesmer Updegrove in Boston who studies standards and intellectual-property issues stated that IBM’s new guidelines for how it will participate in standards organizations was resulted because of the company’s annoyance with OOXML. OOXML is a competitor to OpenDocument Format (ODF).
IBM’s guidelines were prepared by involving over 70 experts who discussed the ways to improve the formation of the standards.
