Pathfinder : Standards and Specifications

Scope Note :

"Standards and specifications are documents that stipulate or recommend 1) minimum levels of performance and quality of goods and services, and 2) optimal conditions and procedures for operations in science, industry, and commerce, including production, evaluation, distribution, and utilization of materials, products, and services." - Subramanyam, Krishna. Scientific and Technical Information Resources. Source: The University of Texas At Austin http://www.lib.utexas.edu/engin/standards/usstds.html.

"Specifications are concise statements of requirements for materials, products or services that are to be purchased by an industry or government agency. Specifications are limited to a specific project or government agency. Standards are specifications that are recognized as the most practical and appropriate current solution, that is agreed upon by a recognized authority, for a recurring problem."
