Now it's worth noting that we're talking about a specification and reference implementations here.
For example, when conducting a research study, it might be desirable to have all the project documents, artefacts such as project plan, reports, design documents, design specification, and reference literatures to be treated as learning objects and have they described using LOM (Kwok and Cheung 2007); Kwok et al. (2008).
Recognizing that their data center headaches couldn't possibly be unique, Facebook shared all of their design specifications, CAD drawings, and reference materials under open licenses to their newly formed Open Compute Project.
This is a formal specification and uses reference variables to enable changing the connectivity between processes and referring to instances of processes (Fisher et al. 2011).
In this paper, we describe the lightweight infrastructure-bootstrapping infrastructure (LIBI), both a bootstrapping API specification and a reference implementation.
Open Compute will develop a specification and a reference box for an open networking switch and will do so from the ground up in the fashion of open-source software efforts, such as those developed by the Apache Foundation.
All pressure monitoring systems were calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and the zero reference was verified before data collection.
In the domain of information technology, conceptual modelling needs to be tested prior to the next stages of validation which typically involve the specification of data models and reference implementations.
15 The equipment was calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications using reference and calibration gases before each test.
Thus, the specification of all input, output and reference files as well as of all analysis parameters can be verified.
