1.Introduction to Open Standard.
What are Standards?
Standard as stated on a common dictionary, "It is a method, a process, or a basis for comparison". In my own understanding of that statement, standard is a set of rules or objectives in a particular institution, or maybe a product, which set as a basis that they follow. Also, standard may a given format or a criteria that is established to use as a guidelines.
Why do we need Standards?
"The term standards covers a lot of ground.Everything we touch in our life is in some way governed by standards, like to testing, to health care, to railway engineering, to clothing, to agriculture, to paper, and technology. Over-all, standards benefits everyone in many ways."
That is the definition given by a site which means that standard is very important in once life. Having a set of standards give us, in any way or in any form a higher quality output in a process which also means that standard in a way is a format, having a particular format can create or can come up to a higher results.
What is FOSS?
FOSS or Free/Open Source Software is available/free software that is available to anybody. Anyone (users) can manage to access and use such software in their own perspective with its lower cost in a way.
Why are They Important?
Open Standard is important because it is accessible with out the concerns of cost which means any one may acquire and lots of people can benefits. The other is that it can be developed in a way which can be a great help in scholarly works nowadays because as we can see the technology is now continuing its trend in the process. The user may at great ease in using it.
What are the rights that leads to OPEN standards?
There are ten(10) rights that leads to open standards that I viewed, these are the following:
1. Open Meeting
2. Consensus
3. Due Process
4. Open IPR (Intellectual Property Rights)
5. One World
6. Open Change
7. Open Documents
8. Open Interface
9. Open Use
10. On-going Support
All of the right stated above are existing for further guidelines in using and implementing Open Standard. The author stated, "It is the affirmative test of the completeness of the rights of the Open Standard."
What are OPEN STANDARDS?
There are a lot of definition given but in general, open standard is created as a guidance or a technical specification which is established and produced by a particular institution or organization and that was published as on free basis to make it easier for the user.
Why use OPEN standards?
Using Open Standards in an operation, manufacture of products or in various systems can be at great help in a way that open standards give a higher quality that enable the product to last longer with it's corresponding poor cost. Which means using open standard gives you a durable solution and benefits of its quality and available resources.
Give one Principle and Practices of Open Standard and Discuss.
One of the principle and practices of open standard is "NO DISCRIMINATION -- open standard and the organizations that administer them do not favor one implementor over another for any reason other than the technical standards compliance of vendor's implementation."
The statement above comprises that organization should set all things fairly for the implementor. The implementor should be given a chance to practice the standard what he/she (the implementor) was acquiring. By that, implementor will be given a chance also to expand its resources.

Give some examples of OPEN standards.
There are a lot examples of Open Standards like hardware. Hardware is the physical part of the computer, or any electronic gadgets. Example of Open Standard Hardware are 3D printers and network reconfigurable cameras. Network reconfiguration cameras is an open standard because modification of its images or interface may process in any web design tools, and the application may compile in any running application. The other one is the 3D printer which has three(3) dimensions, which is also an open standard because just like network configuration cameras 3D printers uses graphics and animation software, and application that is open source.
