Abstract
We explore why diversity among and incompatibility between standards implementations arises. An answer is sought top-down by means of institutional analysis, and bottom-up by analysing standards cases (SGML/ XML, OSI standards, and UML). The analyses highlight very diverse causes (errors, ambiguities, inconsistencies, and parallel options in standards; functional deviations, etc.). To structure the findings, a taxonomy is drawn up. Its aim is to help identify and localise causes of standards implementation problems. We conclude that, although further research is required, the aim of implementability should acquire higher priority in standards development.
