==== FFII's definition ====

The [[Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure]]'s definition is said{{by whom|date=September 2015}} to coincide with the definition issued in the European Interoperability Framework released in 2004.

<blockquote>
A specification that is public, the standard is inclusive and it has been developed and is maintained in an open standardization process, everybody can implement it without any restriction, neither payment, to license the IPR (granted to everybody for free and without any condition). This is the minimum license terms asked by standardization bodies as W3C. Of course, all the other bodies accept open standards. But specification itself could cost a fair amount of money (i.e. 100–400 Eur per copy as in ISO because copyright and publication of the document itself).<ref>{{Cite web|date=2007-01-18|title=FFII Workgroup on Open Standards – FFII|url=http://action.ffii.org/openstandards|access-date=2021-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070118141247/http://action.ffii.org/openstandards|archive-date=2007-01-18}}</ref>
