!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] (or Open [Specification]) is a [standard] that is within the [Public Domain] and has various rights to use associated with it, and may also have various properties of how it was designed (e.g. open process).[1]
[{$pagename}] is an [Ambiguous] term and has no single definition or interpretations without a provided [context]
The terms open and [standard] have a wide range of meanings associated with their usage. There are a number of definitions of open standards which emphasize different aspects of openness, including the openness of the resulting specification, the openness of the drafting process, and the ownership of rights in the standard. The term "standard" is sometimes restricted technologies approved by a formalized [Community] that are open to participation by all interested parties and operate on a [consensus] basis.
The definitions of the term [{$pagename}] used by academics, the [European Union] and some of its member [governments] or parliaments such as [Denmark], [France], and [Spain] preclude open standards requiring fees for use, as do the New Zealand, South African and the Venezuelan [Government Entity].
On the [standard] organisation side, the [World Wide Web Consortium] ([W3C]) ensures that its specifications can be implemented on a royalty-free basis.
Some [{$pagename}], but NOT all, are [Open Access] [standards]
