The movement for standards in open data is
growing. Socrata have a useful introduction to why we need standards and
standards bodies. They start with lightbulbs and move swiftly to recent
standards like GTFS and OpenPlan. It's a compact, clear case for standards that
looks set fair to serve the next generation of applications well. OpenNorth

ACORD LOMA DAILY NEWS
New Book
My latest book presents the challenges members face when adopting industry standards as well as the opportunities that come as a result. It features my discussions with many people over many years and follows the foundation I set in my first book "The Business Information Revolution".
Industry standards are never adopted in a vacuum. They become part and parcel of all the trials and tribulations managers face in their day to day work. ACORD Standards are always part of a larger software development project that brings along people, priorities and politics. Adopting industry standards isn't simple, but the benefits far outweigh the problems of building and maintaining proprietary alternatives.
I trust that you will appreciate my frankness, identify with some of the challenges and learn from what others have done to pave the way.
