Abstract
This paper develops a conceptual basis for a mathematical understanding of technical standards using information theory. Recognizing that a comparison is basic for communications, this paper proposes that commonality is basic to any comparison, and describes how technical standards function to provide commonality. A taxonomy of technical standards is offered which identifies how technical standards are used to convert information to communications
