Standardisation. The HBP will use existing standards, where available and appropriate, to ensure interoperability, quality assurance and collaboration with other networks. Where appropriate standards do not exist and are needed, in areas such as data representation formats and vocabularies for describing and annotating neuroscience data, the HBP will develop and apply its own software and data standards.
Standardisation. Internal standardisation is the standardisation of assessment practice where there is more than one assessor responsible for the same or similar courses and assessment decisions. Standardisation ensures that the assessment criteria for a qualification or unit are applied consistently by assessors and internal quality assurers. It is recommended that internal standardisation meetings are held which include all assessors and internal quality assurers involved with LASER qualifications, and where required action plans are produced which are subsequently followed up. LASER has created a number of standardisation forms which are available on the LASER website, to help support assessors and internal quality assurers’ record standardisation activities. Forms which you might find useful include: IQA06 Standardisation Record IQA10 Standardisation Meeting Agenda LASER holds annual standardisation events to ensure that comparable standards are achieved year on year and that there is a consistency of delivery and assessment across all centres. Please visit the LASER website for information on how to reserve a place.
Standardisation. The PSA’s proposal for a new Salaried Enterprise Agreement has been drafted to provide clear, equitable, fair, consistent and enforceable provisions in a single enterprise agreement. It has been drafted with a view to eliminating ambiguity in the interpretation of clauses, and ensuring that all clauses dealing with conditions and protections for PSA members are clear and enforceable. The terms of the proposed agreement have been drafted for consistency in their interpretation and application, irrespective of the Department or Agency in which an employee works. Further refinement of the PSA’s proposal will continue, including in relation to Agency specific matters. Wage increase and duration of Agreement The PSA reserves its position in relation to a wage outcome and duration of the agreement subject to negotiations with Government and the ongoing consultation with the PSA membership. The PSA does not accept the limitation of 1.5% wage increase.

Standardisation. More than 30 sub clauses have been drafted or redrafted which relate predominantly to standardisation and consistency matters. Highlights of these sub clauses include: Clauses which confirm the primacy of the Enterprise Agreement in remuneration and employment conditions matters. Establishment of a working party for the management of investigations to ensure members are treated justly, fairly and respectfully in a timely manner. Leave Inclusion of parts B – G of the Commissioner’s Determination 3.1 as an Appendix to the Agreement to provide protections for members’ leave entitlements. Worker’s Compensation Clauses to protect work injured members based on the clauses incorporated into the Police and Nurses Enterprise Agreements Mental Health First Aid Training A new clause which supports mental health wellbeing in the workplace Performance Management and Development Clauses which ensure accountability in the implementation of the Premier’s Direction about Performance Management and Development. Protections for members through the performance development process. Rights to be Represented and Association Rights Clauses which confirm the rights of members to be represented and the rights of Worksite Representatives, Officers and Officials of the PSA PSA Draft Enterprise Agreement The PSA’s Draft Salaried Enterprise Agreement is available in the Enterprise Bargaining section of the PSA website: xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx
Standardisation. Feedback from the survey on standardisation centred on two key areas: standardised testing and standardised components.
Standardisation. The PREFORMA PCP enables to increase the impact of the standardisation activities, by creating a European forum for researchers and memory institutions dealing with digital preservation. The way standards are typically implemented makes the usability of them not as evident and crystal clear as it appears in common language. As an example, the LibreOffice Open Source project claims that they provide interoperability with products that implement a file format that is somewhat different from the ISO standard and which is implemented in software systems provided by the dominant company for the specific file format.24 Further, the EU has done some work on in its Digital Agenda, Action 23 (Provide guidance on ICT standardisation and public procurement) that may give guidance.25 In the document "D2 – Overview of Procurement Practices: Final Report" it says: 26 - In issue 2.35 (page 15): "The use of standards will not necessarily solve interoperability or lock in problems. Vendors are still able to maintain high switching costs even with standards and thus reduce the scope for a level playing field among suppliers by locking-in their customers to their particular implementation of the standard (e.g. if the supplier interprets the standard in a different way.” - In issue 2.42 (page 16): "Whilst standards that are set through formal standard setting organisations go through a formal development process, they may still contain barriers to implementation by all interested parties, may not be widely implemented by the market, or may not be implemented accurately according to the specifications. This could result in products that despite claiming to implement a standard are not interoperable with other products implementing the same standard" In short - There can be a fundamental difference between a specification of a standard and the implementation of the specification of a standard in a software system. - There is an inherent complexity in any statement about the extent to which a specific standard is "implemented" in a specific software system The PREFORMA PCP will ensure the necessary adherence to standards for files that are ingested to archives, and implicitly help increase the quality of research and development of new file- generating tools by beginning to test them for conformance early, long before they start being widely used.
Standardisation. (1) The Contractor provides equipment with standardised technology, standardised OEM, standardised models or part numbers and standardised configuration with the aim of:
Standardisation. It is desirable that wheels equipped with Combat Tyres can be fitted to the same model of combat vehicle and that the wheel mounting studs are standard studs.
Standardisation. The XXXXX concept of recursive orchestration well applies to the areas of NFV resource policy which are in scope of the activities of the IRTF NFVRG for potential standardisation. Similarly, the concept of slicing and resource abstraction developed in XXXXX can be new stimulus to progress and evolve OGF NSI specification. Obviously, the maintenance of XXXXX testbeds and inter-domain links, e.g. for demonstrations in public events, can further support exploitation actions on soGware,being them the main channel through which capturing com- munity interest.
