OGF Document Types

Four document types are defined at present:

  1. Informational: To inform the community about a useful idea or set of ideas.

  2. Experimental: To inform the community about a useful experiment, testbed, or implementation of an idea or set of ideas.

  3. Community Practice: To inform the community of common practice or process, with the objective to influence the community.

  4. Recommendations: To document a specification, analogous to an Internet Standards track document. OGF Recommendations are initially designated as "proposed," and following further experience and review may become full OGF recommendations.
