“Standards make a positive contribution to the world we live in. They facilitate trade, spreadknowledge, disseminate innovative advances in technology, and share good management andconformity assessment practices”7. There are a multitude of standard and standard consortiaorganizations producing market relevant standards, specifications, and technical reports in thedomain of Information Communication Technology (ICT). With the number of ICT relatedstandards and specifications numbering in the thousands, it is not readily apparent to users howthese standards inter-relate to form the basis of technical interoperability. There is a need todevelop and document a process to identify how standards inter-relate to form a basis ofinteroperability in multiple contexts; at a general horizontal technology level that covers alldomains, and within specific vertical technology domains and sub-domains. By analyzing whichstandards inter-relate through normative referencing, key standards can be identified as technicalcenters of gravity, allowing identification of specific standards that are required for thesuccessful implementation of standards that normatively reference them, and form a basis forinteroperability across horizontal and vertical technology domains. This Thesis focuses on defining a methodology to analyze ICT standards to identifynormatively referenced standards that form technical centers of gravity utilizing Data Mining(DM) and Social Network Analysis (SNA) graph technologies as a basis of analysis. As a proofof concept, the methodology focuses on the published International Standards (IS) published bythe International Organization of Standards/International Electrotechnical Committee; JointTechnical Committee 1, Sub-committee 36 Learning Education, and Training (ISO/IEC JTC1 SC36). The process is designed to be scalable for larger document sets within ISO/IEC JTC1 that covers all JTC1 Sub-Committees, and possibly other Standard Development Organizations(SDOs).Chapter 1 provides a review of literature of previous standard analysis projects and analysisof components used in this Thesis, such as data mining and graph theory. Identification of adataset for testing the developed methodology containing published International Standardsneeded for analysis and form specific technology domains and sub-domains is the focus ofChapter 2. Chapter 3 describes the specific methodology developed to analyze publishedInternational Standards documents, and to create and analyze the graphs to identify technicalcenters of gravity. Chapter 4 presents analysis of data which identifies technical center of gravitystandards for ICT learning, education, and training standards produced in ISO/IEC JTC1 SC 36.Conclusions of the analysis are contained in Chapter 5. Recommendations for further researchusing the output of the developed methodology are contained in Chapter 6.
