Hi Kate,

 

The standard was produced so anybody could create a tag. I once considered it as a service offering. TagVault was started by Steve Klos who was convener for the writing of ISO 19770-2 and have positioned themselves certification authority but that does not stop anybody creating tags without going through TagVault.

 

I was not meaning to suggest we go down the same route as SWIDs for Open Source but thought there may be some learnings we can take from the work they have done.
