Without specification,
software is incomplete.

The hardest part of the software task is arriving at a complete and consistent specification, and much of the essence of building a program is in fact the debugging of the specification.

PIE Standards

We care about interoperability, which implies either working to or creating new standards. A fair amount of our work involves creating new ones.

Our standards and drafts are using the PIE identification scheme. This permits easy, decentralized collaboration, whilst still cross-referencing related work.

PIEs - Proposals for Interpeer Enhancement
This document specifies a document identifier format and creation process that does not require centralized management, yet is sufficiently unambiguous to be interoperable across loosely organized participating entities. It was created for use in the Interpeer Project. This document is itself published using this identification system, i. e. it adheres to [PIE.f92f09.00].

Prefix Registry for PIEs
This document is a registry for prefixes used for PIE identifiers as specified in [PIE.f92f09.00]. The Interpeer Project maintains this registry as a service to the community.
