How Open a Platform does "Open Government" Need?
,----[ Quote ]
| These documents, which were posted for public comment through September 22 of
| last year, represent but the latest deliverables of a carefully considered
| and practical process. The definition and requirements for open standards
| that the IDABC has developed are both sound in substance and founded on real
| and well articulated justifications.
|
| I believe that the EU is following a path that is leading towards the type of
| interoperability within governments, and between governments and citizens,
| that should serve as a model for governments everywhere. Hopefully
| governments around the world will so conclude as well. If they do decide to
| follow along on the carefully considered roadmap that the IDABC and the
| Member States of the EU have laid out, vendors as well as citizens will
| benefit, as achieving a global consensus on what constitutes an open standard
| for government procurement must inevitably serve to rationalize and expand
| the market for compliant products..
