Abstract
Research on technical details and justifications of specific information standardization schemes is well-established, and research on social construction of standards and the standardization process also has a strong trajectory. Yet these two areas of research generally proceed relatively independently of one another, although it seems clear that more interaction between the areas should inform both. In this paper, we develop a “socio-material” (Orlikowski & Scott 2008) perspective on information standards and standardization as a bridge connecting aspects of these two areas of research.
