Many public institutions like government agencies and civil society
organizations are obliged by new legislation to place information in the
public domain. Unfortunately many of them are using proprietary formats
which require members of the public to purchase or illegally copy
proprietary software. This primer provides an overview of standards
setting bodies and FOSS software and tools to create new content as well
as migrate to solutions based on Open Standards.
The primer provides existing case studies on the polices and initiatives
of governments implementing open standards policies. It also covers
current patent and licensing issues with Open Standards implementations.

This IOSN Primer is an initiative of UNDP Asia-Pacific Development
Information Programme and supported by the International Development
Research Centre (IDRC)
