International standard
Standards are produced by many organisations, some for internal usage only, others for use by a groups of people, groups of companies, or a sub-section of an industry. A problem arises when different groups come together, each with a large user-base doing some well-established thing that between them is mutually incompatible.There are many National Standards, but overall the International_Organization_for_Standardization, based in Geneva, Switzerland has established tens of thousands of standards covering almost every conceivable topic. Most of these are then adopted world-wide replacing all the incompatible 'home-grown' standards. Many of these standards are naturally evolved from those designed in-house within an industry, or by a particular country, whilst others have been built from scratch by groups of experts who sit on various Technical Committees.
The ISO Web Site (http://www.iso.ch/) describes more of the work that ISO does.

Weder die Krone bedeckt, weder ein phrygischer Bund
Und ihm aengstet und drueckt gleich das Geheimnis die Brust,
Doch die Erde verwahrt solche Geheimnisse nicht,
Midas! Midas, der Fuerst traegt ein verlaengertes Ohr!
Ach, den Lippen entquillt Fuelle des Herzens so leicht!
Keinem Freunde: vielleicht braechte der Freund mir Gefahr.
Bin ich endlich nicht jung, bin ich nicht einsam genug.
Wie sie.html">sie.html">sie des Tags mich erfreut, wie sie des Nachts mich beglueckt.
Die ihr der Kuehnere frech, heimlich der Listige legt;
Wo sie der Liebste gewiss lauschend begierig empfaengt.
Rausche, Lueftchen, im Laub! niemand vernehme den Tritt.
Euch im leisesten Hauch lauer und liebender Luft,
Eines gluecklichen Paars schoenes Geheimnis zuletzt.
