·1meta-standard

At Intelligent'Er we understand standards as technologies for governance and we realised that charcteristics of exisitng standards and their development processes have to be reimagined to better serve
governance purposes..
Therefore, within our intelligent thought leadership portfolio in redevelopment issues we include the design of the novel Policy Standards, an innovative form of standard for policy-making purposes built under the principles of interoperabilty and coordination with existing technical standards and protocols.

We designed a pioneering Meta-Standard architecture for the development of Policy Standards and a first-of-a-kind novel conformity assessment scheme to assess compliance with these. A first implementation has been made on City Standards, in the CiSCA (City Standards Conformity Assessmment) use case.
