Abstract
Those that study standards development and utilization have adopted a variety of methods to make their investigations more disciplined and their observations more meaningful. One of these techniques is the identification of the various classes of persons and entities that affect, and are affected by, standards. Once such "stakeholders" are described, a variety of useful studies can be undertaken, such as exploring why a given stakeholder class does or does not participate in the process of standards development, and the impacts of this decision on the class in question.
