Abstract

The paper focuses on the various frameworks that have been advanced for socio-economic analysis of compatibility standards in information systems, and their adequacy in addressing a set of key issues and challenges. The paper draws upon the concepts developed within the social shaping of technology
perspective to approach the standardization process in a dynamic fashion. A dynamic approach to the analysis of standards development is proposed which examines together the settings of standard development and use. The analysis addresses the entire life cycle of a standard, which is conceived in terms of a series of versions of a particular standard, and the displacement of one standard by another. These issues are explored empirically through the case study of healthcare messaging standards in the English and Scottish healthcare sectors.
