Standards Development

Scope

This system reference deliverable provides a database of Smart City standards (either existing or coming, from IEC and other organizations) classified according to the methodology developed in Part 1, along with a document describing standards catalog information including:

– overview of the database of collected Smart City standards

– description of the criteria used to classify standards

– SDOs’ standardization areas and focuses on Smart City

Purpose

The goal of this deliverable is to provide an overview of the Smart City standards either existing or coming supporting the whole city system. These standards are provided by IEC, ISO, ITU-T and other bodies working on Smart City standards.

The aim of this deliverable is to provide standards users, such city managers and smart solution vendors, who are responsible for the design and implementation of smart cities with guidelines to select a most appropriate set of standards, and also to provide a view of focuses of SDOs on Smart City standardization to meet the standards gap. The collection should be comprehensive and also provide an overview of all the standardization involved. It can also establish interoperability for standards from different SDOs.

It is a base job and provides a base for cross-organization, collaborative and joint work of ISO, IEC, ITU-T, etc. on Smart City standardizations.

The main content of this deliverable includes Smart City standards inventory guidelines, standard database, inventory component cluster description and priorities of Smart City standardization organizations

1. Standards inventory guidelines give criteria for identifying and presenting standards for smart cities, and prioritization of standards source organizations when performing searches.

2. How the standards are stored in a database is described with data items and data types. Several catalogs and search strategies are given respectively. The standards database enables standards organizations to have an overview of the Smart City standardization and have the common base to find the gaps.

3. The classification structure and component clusters of inventory by subject will be described in this deliverable according to the presentation criteria of Smart City standards. The standards in each category that are published and under development are introduced. This classification of standards is from the perspective of the smart city system.

4. Priority areas of Smart City Standards Organizations (SDOs), such as IEC, ISO, ITU-T, etc., will be shown, with their scope of smart city standardization and current major standards development. The analysis is mainly for standard developers and users to understand the role and focus of differe SDOs in the field of smart city standardization. It is also convenient for standard users to let the right organization know their needs and develop the required standards.

As a living deliverable, this will be subject to future changes, modifications and additions, and will be incorporated into future editions.
