More detailed information[edit]

Is there a reason why this article does not include more detailed information like that in the article on ISO 31-11? Perhaps it is out of respect for the copyright of ISO in their standard. In particular, I was looking for the answer to the question that I have posed at Talk:ISO 31-11#Phi. JonH (talk) 07:11, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright only applies to the particular style and way of presentation of the information; the information itself is not copyrightable.
Trade secrets are a separate issue, but if an ISO standard is a trade secret, it rather defeats the point of being a standard. Of course, being non-open-access also defeats the point of trying to encourage a standard, because most people who want to check will have to believe that "they say that they say that apparently the standard is claimed to be ...".
Probably the main reason for a lack of detail is that people willing to edit don't have access. Boud (talk) 21:10, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We can't add this archival link to the article until/if the copyright situation is clarified, but the content can be used - select some of the more important points. Boud (talk) 21:32, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
