We explain what the protocol is (such as rules of conduct, and in computing). Also, protocol types and some examples.
These behaviors or rules may include certain ways of dressing.What is protocol?
The protocol, in its most widely used definition, refers to different behaviors and rules that the persons in a certain society they must know and respect specific occasions, such as in official areas for a special reason or because they have a position that requires this protocol.
The word protocol comes from Latin Protocollum, which was already derived from a Greek concept. In Spanish, the protocol is a set of rules or instructions to be followed, set by the law wave tradition.
Are behaviors or rules may include ways of dressing, good manners or even, attitudes. In some countries, for example, in those that still have a form of government monarchical, they must follow the protocol in a much stricter way unlike others. A case that always attracts attention when talking about protocols to follow is the mandatory use of hats when celebrating a royal wedding in England.
The protocols do not only exist in official areas, since the citizens who do not have any special position are forced to comply with different behaviors and rules previously agreed in their society. These protocols usually have to do with obedience and I respect towards the authorities. Hierarchical organizations such as the Armed Forces, the institution Church, or even a school, are some of the most common examples where people must obey in an imposed way.
Protocol in other disciplines
A protocol can be several things depending on the context in which one is, for example a document that indicates how to act in a certain situation. Also called protocol is the set of social rules that determine behavior in public, for example at a dinner party. We usually know the protocol as the so-called etiquette (to give some examples, chewing food with your mouth closed or maintaining manners above all).
The following are some of the many meanings that this term has:
- Medicine. For medicine, protocol refers to clinical or preclinical trials that carry out the evaluation of a new drug as well as to add some indication or characteristic to a drug that is already known and for sale. They are usually sources of knowledge that have something new for the science. They may even exist in the branch of the psychology, the sociology, among others. Likewise, a treatment protocol is that document that has information on the patient to be treated and that serves as a guide for physicians when deciding how to continue with a treatment or disease, taking the references provided in this paper.
- International right. In International Law, a protocol is the annex to an initial international treaty, that is, a modification or an extension to the original treaty. In some cases, as happened in the Kyoto Protocol that referred to the climate change, the protocol itself was more famous and important than the treaty in general.
- Computing. For computing and telecommunication, a protocol of communications is the set of rules and standards that are intended to control the sequences of the messages that occur in a communication between the entities that are part of the same net. Telephones or computers are some examples of these communications.
- Protocol Internet. The Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol) is a communication protocol that has data that are functionally classified in the Network Layer following the OSI international model.
- Research protocol. A research protocol is one that includes the objectives, the design, the methodology and certain considerations that must be taken into account when implementing and organizing an investigation or scientific experiment. A protocol should include the background and the reasons for the investigation being conducted. At the same time, you must define under which parameters the results obtained will be measured.
