Definition/ Use	We can focus on a relationship between the governance mechanisms and standards while abstracted from each sector's industrial configuration. In the information technology industry, five distinctive governance mechanisms on standardisation have been identified, the state, community, association, network, and market. Each governance mechanisms has its own principles in solving the conflict between collective and private interests. The market mechanism is guided by the principle of competition in the context of maximisation of self-interest. The guiding principle of the network mechanism is voluntary cooperation in the market; organised consensus is the guiding principle of the association mechanism. The state's coordinating capacity is based on its legitimate coercion in the industry. And, the community exercises its coordination effects in the industry with voluntary contributions based on openess.
