Lecture №2. Standards in the field of ICT
Purpose: To prepare students using of modern computer information technology.
Plan:
1. Standards in the field of ICT.
2. Communication between ICT and achievement of the objectives of a sustainable development in the Millennium Declaration.
Standards in the field of ICT.
The main role in the development of the information society belongs to international standards. A standard is a document that sets out requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics for materials, products, processes and services. Standards can also be used to support an industrial or innovation police, for example, in acquiring new technologies.
ICT-standards system - a set of normative and technical and regulatory guidance documents, including a set of interrelated standards and other documents in the field of standardization related to ICT, documents defining the methodology of development, coordination, approval, modification, deployment, use and replacement, including a methodology to assess facilities for compliance with these standards and other documents in the field of standardization.
ICT industry - as a specific field of activity, which includes research, creation, development, evaluation, procurement, acquisition, implementation, operation and utilization of ICTs. It covers thus work as a developer and ICT suppliers and customers and users of ICT, including the activities for the implementation, operation and utilization of ICTs.
Industry Standard (IS) - standard related to processes, products and other aspects of a particular field of activity (whether commercial or not aimed at profit). In this document, under the industry standard it refers to a standard or other document in the field of standardization, designed for the use of ICT. The procedure for the development and application of established IS specialized body of public administration.
Standard - a document in the field of standardization, standardization of relevant principles, covering categories such documents as the standard of organization, the standard non-profit association, the industry standard or set of rules (the industry), the national standard, international standard.
International standard - a standard adopted by an international organization.
National standard - a standard adopted by a national authority of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Standardization.
Non-profit association Standard - a standard non-profit professional organization (union, association, etc.), designed for wide application by different stakeholders. The order of development of the standard and non-profit association established this association and is harmonized with the state and industry standards development orders.

Study Groups of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) unite experts around the world to develop international standards known as ITU-T. They define elements in the global infrastructure of information and communication technologies.
Standards are critical to ICT interoperability. When we exchange voice or video messaging or data, standards make it possible to implement global communications, ensuring that ICT networks and devices from different countries speak the same language.
Since its creation in 1865 , the ITU- T applies an approach to the development of standards on the basis of contributions and consensus, in which all countries and companies are given equal rights to influence the development of the ITU-T Recommendations.
Being a standardization body of the international telegraph exchange and playing a constructive role in telecommunications and modern converged ICT system, ITU-T provides the world’s best conditions for the global community standards. Also, ITU–T is the only global body aimed at developing truly global standards in ICT.
Based at the ITU headquarters in Geneva, the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB) provides support to the Secretariat of the research commissions of ITU-T, using advanced electronic working methods and equipment in Geneva and applying six official languages of the Union-English, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, Russian and French. This body, headed by an elected official, the Director, is responsible for ensuring consistency in the development of the ITU-T standards.
Private and public entities can participate in the process of developing technical standards at the national, regional level.
Organization Standard - a standard developed and approved by the organization itself, based on the necessity of its use to improve production and quality assurance of products, works and services, as well as for the dissemination and use of knowledge in different fields of research results (the test), measurement and development.

2. Communication between ICT and achievement of the objectives of a sustainable development in the Millennium Declaration.
Since ICTs are often associated only with the most sophisticated and expensive computer-based technologies, many underestimate their capacity to contribute to meeting development goals. For our purposes, however, ICTs include the full range of electronic technologies and techniques used to manage information and knowledge, as defined by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP): “ICTs are basically information-handling tools - a varied set of goods, applications and services that are used to produce, store, process, distribute and exchange information. They include the "old" ICTs of radio, television and telephone, and the "new" ICTs of computers, satellite and wireless technology and the Internet. These different tools are now able to work together, and combine to form our "networked world" - a massive infrastructure of interconnected telephone services, standardized computing hardware, t and television, which reaches into every corner of the globe.” ICTs e an important sector of economic developing countries. ICTs are also a platform to exchange data, information, knowledge and a tool to implement applications (e.g. e-commerce, e-schools, e-health, etc.). As such, ICTs can play a catalytic role as an enabler to development. Recent developments in technologies, reduction in prices, greater availability of networks and a more user-friendly approach to technologies are strengthening the role that ICTs can play in support of development. In this context, ICTs support all of the 8 MDGs, not only MDG #8, for which the infrastructure aspect of ICTs has been clearly identified.
Questions:
1. 1.What kind of standards do you know in the field of ICT?
2. What kind of communications do you know between ICT and achievement of the objectives of a sustainable development in the Millennium Declaration?
3. low do you understand the possibilities of ICT?
4. What types of ICT do you know?
5. What does the interrelation between the purposes of development and ICT consist in?
6. What ar the main stages of infortnation development of the society?
