The Open Definition makes precise the meaning of “open” with respect to knowledge, promoting a robust commons in which anyone may participate, and interoperability is maximized.
The OpenChain Project builds trust in open source by making open source license compliance simpler and more consistent. The OpenChain Specification defines a core set of requirements every quality compliance program must satisfy. The OpenChain Curriculum provides the educational foundation for open source processes and solutions, whilst meeting a key requirement of the OpenChain Specification. OpenChain Conformance allows organizations to display their adherence to these requirements. The result is that open source license compliance becomes more predictable, understandable and efficient for participants of the software supply chain.
The Software Package Data Exchange® (SPDX®) specification is a standard format for communicating the components, licenses and copyrights associated with software packages.
As a Free Software user, I obviously frown upon Microsoft Office file formats. Primarily because they claim to be open standards, when in practice Microsoft doesn’t implement their own specification appropriately.
This site has been created by members of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) Working Group S3-79, which is in charge of reviewing American National Standard ANSI S3.5-1997 (“Methods for Calculation of the Speech Intelligibility Index”). This standard defines a method for computing a physical measure that is highly correlated with the intelligibility of speech as evaluated by speech perception tests given a group of talkers and listeners. This measure is called the Speech Intelligibility Index, or SII. The SII is calculated from acoustical measurements of speech and noise. The site provides software for calculating the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII), as well as notes relevant to potential future changes of the standard and the listing of known errors to be corrected in the next version of the standard. You are encouraged to contact us with any information that may help make the Standard better and easier to use. Also, if you have other software that can facilitate SII calculations, we urge you to send it to us for a review and posting on this site.
