| Abstract: | This paper focuses on the processes producing the standards which make up the technical back-bone of an information infrastructure. These standards are neither ready-made nor neutral. They are currently being developed and they "inscribe" behavior in complex and non-transparent ways. The authors explore how this takes place, identifying by whom, where and how inscriptions are made. The authors' principal aim is to uncover the socio-technical complexity of establishing an information infrastructure, a complexity which so far has been severely underestimated by those involved. |
