.NET Standard Library vs. .NET Standard : <p>Reading some blogs and the official <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/standard/library">documentation for .NET Core 1.0</a>, I'm still quite confused (like many others).<br>
Don't get me wrong, I've literally read dozens of posts on the web trying to understand the architecture and terms for this new platform.</p>

<p>Reading the docs and blogs, this is what they say about <strong>.NET Standard Library</strong>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The .NET Standard Library is a formal specification of .NET APIs that
  are intended to be available on all .NET runtimes.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>But they also use this term: <strong>.NET Standard</strong> and <strong>netstandard</strong> as you can see on the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/standard/library#net-platforms-support">Platform Support table</a>.</p>

<p>Question: <strong>.NET Standard Library</strong> <code>==</code> <strong>.NET Standard</strong>? If not, what's difference?</p>
