Today we scan best practice literature for data (now a term of art used interchangeably with information).   For talking purposes we approach data as a unit of information.  Data and computing environments are the beating heart of all education communities; more so since the onset of the pandemic. 

Characteristic of this domain: data technologies move swiftly; no surprise here.   We distinguish among titles as follows:

• Active: Standards that have been published, is known to be or planned to be in use, and is planned to have future maintenance releases after public consultation and trial use.
• Stable: Standards that may be in use and may generate some feedback and questions, but is not under active review, or expected to be updated in the foreseeable future.
• Retired: Standards that has no current or planned standards development activity within the community; which may no longer be in use, or which should not be considered for use.

Every self-respecting standards developer has an iron in this conflagration:

ASC x9

ASHRAE International

ATIS International

BICSI International

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers

Institution of Engineering & Technology

International Code Council

National Fire Protection Association

Telecommunications Industry Association

The IET

Good data for the public good

…and so on; including titles thrown off by open-source and consortia verticals.
