What is the name of the badge?:
Referenced by an IEEE Standard
What is the purpose of badge?:
This is to signal to the public that material in the open source project on the IEEE SA Open platform is incorporated into an IEEE standard via a reference. References in an IEEE Standard are either considered "normative" or "informative". Normative material is information required to implement the standard and is therefore officially part of the standard. Informative material is provided for information only and is therefore not officially part of the standard. Therefore, I propose that this badge come in one of two varieties: "normative" or "informative." These labels will be extremely meaningful to anybody that is reading or implementing the IEEE standard because the labels "normative" and "informative" are used throughout IEEE standards documents. They are also terms that are common in the area of standardization in general, especially in the world of international voluntary consensus standards.
What are the requirements to earn the badge?:
An approved, published, and active IEEE Standard must reference the project that bears this badge. For badges to have the "normative" label, then the IEEE standard shall be referenced in the "Normative References" section of the IEEE Standard. Otherwise, the badge shall be labeled informative.
Content Description, what does it measure?:
This will measure whether or not a given project has been incorporated into an active and published IEEE Standard.
