International organization for standardizationhttp://www.iso.ch
The Web site of the International Organization for Standardization features a graphically well-laid out home page, although most of its other pages are text based. While this site offers a lot of information with respect to ISO standards, its particular value is the "hot" link to "other Web servers providing standards information" found at the bottom of the home page. This provides visitors with links to, as far as your reviewer could determine, all national standards bodies. Following these links, each site provides country-specific standards information along with other associated service and publication offerings. These could offer a practical working tool for some, as well as interest to others. Overall, very useful.
