Telecom
Standards in the catalog that belong to telecom — 9 of them. A standard is listed here only when it is specific to this industry; the general-purpose ones it also relies on, like HTTP, OAuth and JSON Schema, deliberately carry no domain.
The same industry, as data models
3 data models define what information exists in telecom, as opposed to the standards applied in API operations listed below. Same industry, two lenses.
