neutral - How To Discuss

Vendor-neutral

Supplier neutrality describes a condition in which no supplier has control over the definition, revision or distribution of a specification. Vendor-independent specifications drive the development of competitive yet compatible implementations, allowing customers to choose from multiple vendors without sacrificing functionality. Manufacturer-independent specifications must be complete, consistent and publicly available or licensed for a small fee. In addition, they must be defined by a multi-stakeholder association that represents a broad spectrum of the IT industry, is open to new members, publishes membership rules and operates according to democratic principles. The vendor-independent specification is preferably supplemented by at least one reference implementation. This reference will be available in a retrievable format (this format will be the source code for the software implementations) and a battery of conformity tests that satisfactorily ensure the integrity of the implementations under all reasonable conditions of intended use.
