Blockchain technology is a revolutionary approach in the context of decentralised data systems. Starting with the introduction of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, it has seen rapid growth in importance and investment. The clarification of basic terminology is particularly relevant for this young field of technology. To this end, the BlockOne project is developing a terminology specification based on the accelerated DIN-SPEC process. This article presents the method developed to prepare the terminology and the current status of the standardisation work.

Previous studies have shown an ambivalent relationship between standards and innovation while emphasizing the need to clarify the relationship and uncover their possible causal link. This paper revisits the standard-innovation relationship with the ISO 9001 standard, and patents applications as indicators of standards and innovation, respectively. Using a panel dataset of 81 countries covering the period 1993-2019, we find that ISO 9001 certification is positively associated with innovation. Our fixed-effects and system GMM estimates show that doubling the number of ISO 9001 certificates obtained at the national level increases innovation by 1.3-2.2%. The results vary according to the edition of the standard and the countries’ level of development, whereby developed countries seemed to benefit more from the international quality management standards. The paper also suggests that official development assistance (ODA) may be a vehicle through which wealthier countries can help developing ones harness the benefits of standardization.
以往的研究表明，标准与创新之间的关系模棱两可，同时强调有必要厘清二者之间的关系，揭示二者之间可能存在的因果联系。本文以 ISO 9001 标准和专利申请分别作为标准和创新的指标，重新审视了标准与创新的关系。利用 1993-2019 年期间 81 个国家的面板数据集，我们发现 ISO 9001 认证与创新呈正相关。我们的固定效应和系统 GMM 估计表明，在国家层面获得的 ISO 9001 证书数量增加一倍，创新就会增加 1.3-2.2%。结果因标准版本和国家发展水平而异，发达国家似乎从国际质量管理标准中获益更多。论文还建议，官方发展援助（ODA）可以成为富裕国家帮助发展中国家利用标准化带来的好处的一种手段。

This special issue presents peer-reviewed papers from the 2023 EURAS/SIIT conference on 'Responsible Standardisation for Smart Systems'. The event, held in Aachen, Germany, featured 18 papers across seven sessions, along with panels, keynotes, and workshops. The special issue includes a report of the conference and three peer-reviewed papers. Topics covered are the historical functions of standards, the relationship between certificates for minimum quality and patent applications at the country level, and the importance of reference implementations in ICT standards for open source software, among others. These papers offer insights into various aspects of standardisation, such as its history, its impact on innovation, and the importance of a flexible standardisation process.

A set of ISO standards on climate change adaptation exist that are relevant for the application by cities. However, the knowledge of these is limited among the target groups as well as support is needed to foster their application at city level. The CitISOsCA research project addressed these aspects by different engagement activities using mainly surveys and workshops. The main outcomes of this research are seven verified elements to support applying a standard at city level, and aspects to consider when start the application of a CCA standard in a city. The research fills the gap in literature, which lacks on information on how the application of standards can be fostered.

Software reference implementations of ICT standards have an important role for verifying that a standard is implementable, supporting interoperability testing among other implementations, and providing feedback to the standard development process. Providing reference implementations and widely used implementations of a standard as Open Source Software promotes wide deployment in software systems, interoperability, longevity of systems and associated digital assets, and avoidance of different lock-in effects. In this paper results are reported on the availability of, and perceptions and practices concerning, reference implementations and widely deployed implementations provided as Open Source Software for standards issued by different standards setting organisations. Specifically, findings draw from observations and analyses related to software implementations for identified standards and policy statements, issued by ETSI, IEC, IEEE, IETF, ISO, ITU-T, OASIS, and W3C.
