Article #3200 - ITI-INCITS
The Information Technology Industry Council’s InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (ITI-INCITS) and its committees presented below may be significant for GridWise™ primarily because of their roles as US TAGs (technical advisory groups) to important international standards efforts, particularly within the ISO/IEC JTC1, and for the high-level nature of the issues they tend to address. These committees tend to address the more architectural, guiding aspects of key IT areas (databases, GIS, metadata, open distributed processing, and security techniques).
