Metaverse Standards Register

The Metaverse Standards Register is a publicly accessible database of organizations, specifications, policies, recommendations, guidelines and open-source software related to metaverse interoperability. The Register enables navigation and analysis of the ecosystem of standardization activities relevant to building an open metaverse and to identify connections and gaps in the standardization landscape.

Hosted by the Metaverse Standards Forum, information in the Register is provided and maintained by qualified standards-related organizations to ensure accuracy and relevance.

How the Metaverse Standards Register Works

If your organization engages in metaverse-related standardization activities and is not yet listed in the Register, you are invited to apply for qualification, so your organization may upload to the Register to gain visibility and drive adoption for your work.

Apply for upload access to the register

Once an organization is qualified and displayed in the Register, designated representatives can upload data on publications and projects for review by the Register Working Group and upload to the Register.

Note the Register is currently under construction and currently displays standards-related organizations. Standards-related publications and projects, and Glossary Terms, will be listed soon.

DASH Industry Forum
One of the main challenges facing DASH after its standardization was its own flexibility, expressed through the many features and options allowed by the core specification. Being codec agnostic, for example, is a plus when supporting new codec options, but poses a challenge for encoder or player builders - which codec do you support in your DASH player? What segment encapsulation should the encoder generate? How should DRM be signaled? What closed captioning format do you support? The flexibility inherent in the standard made it more difficult to achieve interoperability between various initial implementations.

Ethereum Foundation
The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is a non-profit that supports the Ethereum ecosystem. We are part of a larger community of organizations, individuals, and companies that fund protocol development, grow our community, and advocate for Ethereum.

Just as Ethereum requires new concepts and technologies, it has spawned new kinds of organizations. We are at the frontier of a new kind of organization: one that supports a blockchain, without controlling it. Every day we learn more about what kind of organization the EF needs to be, to support Ethereum's long term growth. One key thing to understand is that the EF is more like a community of teams than a traditional organization.
