New Trend of Standard: Machine Executable Standard

Abstract

Standards play an important and unreplaceable role in everywhere of human life and social activities. Most of countries pay much attention to standards development and application. However, all of standards are still paper media and mainly for human reading. It greatly restricts the efficiency of usage, broadcast, and data interchange especially in such digital era with computer being widely used. In this pater, we discuss a new form of standard, which is machine readable, understandable, executable, testable, and applicable as well as human applying.
