PDFR116 | https://archive.mith.umd.edu/dhcuration-guide/guide.dhcuration.org/collections/s... | For digital humanities data, a standard has been defined as “codified rules and guidelines for the creation, description, and management of digital resources” (Gill and Miller, 2002). Standards can be classified as a de jure standard, which may be mandated by law (or may be used to designate a formal standard), or de facto standards, such as the Text Encoding Initiative, which enjoys widespread use and acceptance | Those standards of interest to digital curation projects are largely in information and communication technology (ICT). Today, ICT standards are developed by formal Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs), such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), as well as national and regional standards organizations |
