In addition to the links provided by Dong, you may also want to read the Road for Open ICT Ecosystems that was prepared by the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet & Society. It has a very good defintion of what an open standard is. It's available for download (PDF) at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/epolicy/
