The specification can cover data formats, protocols or other interfaces and practices, but the objective is essentially the same in each case. While standards can in some cases fulfill this objective, this is not an automatic, mechanical process guaranteed to succeed, and there are usually many challenges to achieving interoperability between different implementations of an ICT standard.
