This resource database collects carefully selected teaching and reference materials on digital technical standards, all sourced from the DTS Toolkit.The project is guided by recommendations from the Expert Working Group. Each entry is tagged by content type, such as textbooks, slide decks, and policy articles.
Other types include portals, guides, and case studies. Entries are also tagged by the standards bodies they cover, such as ETSI, 3GPP, IEEE, IETF, W3C, ITU, and ISO/IEC.Each entry includes a direct link to the original material. You can use the search box or column headers to filter by standards body, format, or topic and find what you need.This helps you find the most useful items for course design, self-study, or broader research into the standards ecosystem. The database is regularly reviewed and updated.
Updates happen on a rolling basis. However, because so much educational and policy material is produced across the standards community, the list is not exhaustive. Some resources, especially new or institution-specific ones, may not be included yet. We welcome suggestions for additions to help keep the database as complete and up to date as possible.

This calendar brings together the main conferences, summits and plug-test events of 2026 that touch the work of the major digital technical standards bodies: ETSI, 3GPP, IEEE, IETF, W3C, ITU-R, ITU-T and ISO/IEC JTC 1. Each entry shows who is hosting, which SDOs are on the agenda, the dates and the location, and the event name links straight to the official page.
You can use it to see the year at a glance, search by SDO, organiser or city, and find the meetings worth your time, whether you are planning to attend, getting more involved in standards work, or looking for partners. We update the list regularly, but there are many standards events worldwide to catch them all. Working-group sessions, regional gatherings and late additions are especially likely to be missing, so if you know of one we should include, please tell us.

This database brings together peer-reviewed academic papers, reviews, and policy analyses that focus on digital technical standards and their development. It covers the work of major standards-development organisations such as ETSI, 3GPP, IEEE, IETF, W3C, ITU, ISO/IEC, and NIST. Each entry lists the title, authors, year of publication, and the standards organisations discussed. You can use the table to quickly scan the literature, search by author, topic, or standards organisation, and find works relevant to your teaching, research, or work with standards. The list is updated regularly.
However, given the large amount of standards-related research published each year in journals, conferences, and policy outlets, the database is not exhaustive, and some papers, especially very recent releases, non-English publications, and grey literature, may not be included. We welcome suggestions for additions to help keep the database as complete as possible.
