Abstract

This paper analyzes and proposes hypotheses regarding the process through which the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) realized the convergence of standards among fiercely competitive players. New modes of innovation works only with mashed up data generated by diverse sensor devices via the Internet, and varied based on processing results. It is realized only with the situation that more than two modules work in cooperation in real time. Any innovation can be realized only with standardization. However Unlike ordinary joint ventures, stakeholders of standardization occasionally have conflicting interests. We hypothesize changes in standardization process management at the W3C as key factors of innovation through standardization among stakeholders with conflicting interests. 1) Defining scope of specifications to be developed by functions instead of by technical structures. 2) Development management policy based on feedback from implementations, referred to as an implementation-oriented policy, And 3) Inclusion of diverse stakeholders in open standardization processes that facilitate consensus formation and the diffusion of developed standards.
