SMART standards are one of the important and discussed topic. In this regard, we have published new IEC Societal and Technology Trend Report “Smart Standards - From a market and industry perspective” and SMART Guides “Getting started with XML”, “SMART from A to Z”, “Capturing users needs in the context of SMART” on our official web-site.
These documents are important sources for specialists, researchers and business representatives who would like to understand the modern realities of SMART standards and promising areas of their use, learn how to use the XML language and interact with users of standards and other stakeholders.
What is SMART? SMART is the formats, processes and tools that the user (both human and technology) needs to interact with standards. Such digital solutions meet the needs of all stakeholders - from industry, regulators and end users to society as a whole. Thanks to the XML language used in SMART standards, they become machine-readable and machine-interpretable, thereby supporting digital systems that can use artificial intelligence as an accelerator for their processes. However, stakeholder engagement is crucial for the success in the SMART field, no matter what field you work in.
The IEC Societal and Technology Trend Report “Smart Standards - From a market and industry perspective” emphasizes the importance of implementing SMART standards in modern conditions, when innovations and technologies become the determining factors of success. It examines SMART standards from three points of view: technical, market and economic and describes various pilot industrial projects for their use and provides recommendations for the participants of the IEC community. The SMART Standards Guides will be a good tool for a deeper understanding of how to optimize workflows and improve work efficiency in a rapidly changing market and help realize the digital transformation of our society.
The Guide “Getting started with XML” will introduce the basics of XML, its structure and rules for working with it in the ISO system. The Guide “SMART from A to Z” will introduce the main terms used in working with SMART standards while the Guide “Capturing users needs in the context of SMART” focuses on the importance of understanding the requirements of SMART standards users.
