1.2.3 Specifications standards
Specification standards allow accountability to be expressed and transferred along the provisioning chain, by promoting common metrics, common semantics and common data formats. This ultimately leads to automation of accountability interactions, in turn bringing cost reduction, which makes the value proposition of accountability more attractive. These points are extensively discussed in the project report on interoperability [3].
