E-Business Library > Why open standards matter

 [ A Matter of Perspective: Loek Bakker's weblog] For a second I thought of the title "Do open standards matter?" for this blog posting (I wrote before that I am eternally grateful that Nicholas Carr came up with the utterly brilliant title format "Does matter?" which can be used at any time when you do not have enough inspiration to come up with a catchy title for a posting), but I could resist. Having said that, today I read a news item in a Dutch IT magazine that confirms my belief that open standards are by far more significant than open source.
