Unlike proprietary [[telecommunications network|network]] protocols, FOUNDATION fieldbus is not owned by any individual company, or controlled by a single nation or regulatory body. Foundation strives to design an open, interoperable [fieldbus] that is based on the [[International Organization for Standardization]]'s [[OSI model|Open Systems Interconnection (OSI/ISO) seven-layer communications model]]. The FOUNDATION specification is compatible with the officially sanctioned [[SP50]] standards project of the [[Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society]] (ISA) and the [[International Electrotechnical Commission]] (IEC).
