The catalogue
163 artifacts, four axes, no score.
Every record states what the standard does, what it does not do, which layers and phases it addresses, its version and licence position, its primary source, and the date that source was last checked.
The list is ordered by identifier, never by authority or adoption. A ranking would answer a question this catalogue deliberately refuses: which standard is best. The useful question is which one is doing which job, and whether anything is doing a job it was not written for.
You are seeing 12 of them, chosen to span every class of authority so the classification can be judged before signing in. The other 151 need a free account.
