Abstract

A workshop session at the INSITS conference in Braunschweig in 1989, considered the need for and ways of changing people's attitudes to IT standardisation. The workshop concluded that it was perceptions, more than attitudes, that needed changing. This paper, however, argues that there are in fact wrong attitudes to standardisation which are frequently encountered in the IT community, and that means of changing such attitudes deserve serious attention. A number of wrong attitudes are identified, and means are discussed of countering them directly, evading their harmful effects, or if necessary diverting them to advance rather than impede standardisation.
