IETF
The IETF BibXML service
Bibliographic infrastructure behind RFC and Internet-Draft authoring, operated in production.
Open infrastructure for the standards world
We modernize how standards bodies author, publish, and govern — from the IETF's bibliographic services to the ISO Geodetic Register — on open-source platforms anyone can inspect.
Trusted by the community
Featured technology
Our high-performance OpenPGP implementation ships inside Mozilla Thunderbird, bringing standards-based end-to-end encryption to one of the world's most widely used email clients — and it's fully open source.
Platforms
Metanorma is how modern standards get written and published. Primmel Digital CAB is how standards become executable — defined once in Primmel by their authors, run by any organization against its implementation model, yielding trusted evidence and continuous compliance. Both are built on our own open-source suites.
