NATO supports ODF open document format

http://www.heise-online.co.uk/news/NATO-supports-ODF-open-document-format--/111127

18 July 2008: NATO has included the International Standardization Organization's (ISO) certified Open Document Format (ODF) in its list of mandatory standards to promote interoperability. NATO's standards list includes Rich Text Format (RTF), extensible markup language (XML) and Office XP formats as requirements for the sharing of data. The list does not include Office Open XML (OOXML), Microsoft's direct competitor to ODF, which is currently undergoing a controversial ISO certification process. Observers say that the Dutch Defence Ministry threw its weight behind ODF. The public sector in the Netherlands expressly supports open standards and open source. Jan Wildeboer, open source evangelist at Red Hat in Europe, told heise online that NATO support for ODF is an "good sign" and a "further step towards a truly open market, where proprietary solutions and open source software compete on equal terms". Open standards are the only feasible way to provide interoperability and avoid dependence on individual vendors. Wildeboer welcomed the European Commission's new proposal for a European Interoperability Framework (EIF) to promote the use of open standards that are not subject to patent license fees in the public sector.

Government Interoperability Framework (GIF) and National Enterprise Architecture (NEA)

http://growthnict.wordpress.com/2008/06/11/government-interoperability-framework-gif-and-national-enterprise-architecture-nea/

Rajiv Ranjan: While working with the Interoperability Frameworks for e-government services at country level, one theoretical issue that I'm faced with is, the debate on methodology for attaining interoperability in e-government context. For some, it is the National Enterprise Architecture (NEA) and for others it is the Government Interoperability Framework (GIF). However, while going through both NEAs and GIFs of various countries, an emerging trend is witnessed, that the distinctions are getting blurred gradually - at least the way these are documented. Though, I need to get it validated - independently.

Microsoft in push to establish e-Government standard

http://www.euractiv.com/en/infosociety/microsoft-push-establish-government-standard/article-169818

EurActiv.com - 24 January 2008. The US software giant has launched a new set of products aimed at standardising the provision of online services to citizens by public administrations. But while Microsoft says the move will help address the fragmentation of Internet services offered by local authorities, competitors argue it may pose a threat to the development of alternative software.

e-Government architectures, technical and political situation in Latin America

http://www.eclac.cl/ddpe/publicaciones/xml/7/28647/W129.pdf

The terms architecture, interoperability framework, reference architecture are often confused and used interchangeably. A Framework is rather a list of applications and tools. It provides e-Government interoperability by creating a pool of common tools.

Sun Plug-in Brings ODF Support to Microsoft Office

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2163405,00.asp

Tiffany Maleshefski, eWeek, 27 July 2007 Review: Sun's ODF plug-in can play an important role in broadening interoperability between OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office. Sun Microsystems' ODF Plug-in for Microsoft Office won't usher in an era of universal document interoperability, but eWEEK Labs believes it is the best option currently available for adding Open Document Format support to Office's massive installed base. The plug-in, which Sun debuted on July 4 in the form of a freely downloadable 30MB installation package, enables users to read, edit and save ODF-formatted word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation documents using the 2000, XP, and 2003 versions of Microsoft Office.

Business process interoperability

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_process_interoperability

Wikipedia: Business process interoperability (BPI) is a state that exists when a business process can meet a specific objective automatically utilizing essential human labor only. Typically, BPI is present when a process conforms to standards that enable it to achieve its objective regardless of ownership, location, make, version or design of the computer systems used. The main attraction of BPI is that a business process can start and finish at any point worldwide regardless of the types of hardware and software required to automate it. Because of its capacity to offload human "mind" labor, BPI is considered by many as the final stage in the evolution of business computing. BPI's twin criteria of specific objective and essential human labor are both subjective.

Pragmatic SOA Interoperability

http://soa.sys-con.com/read/393668.htm

Jesus Rodriguez and Javier Mariscal, @ SOA WORLD MAGAZINE. A well-planned Web Service interoperability environment begins by clearly defining who your Web Service consumers are now and in the future. There was a time not so long ago when you could count on a fairly homogenous consumer population. This was about the same time that you were happy just to be able to get a Web Service running in the first place and finding a consumer who could actually interact with your Web Service was cause for celebration. Those days have changed however and Web Services interoperability, once a "fancy" addition to your SOA design, is now a key and indispensable requirement in most SOA scenarios.

Including Interoperability in the Acquisition Process

http://www.sei.cmu.edu/publications/documents/05.reports/05tr004.html

B. Craig Meyers, Ira A. Monarch, Linda Levine, and James D. Smith of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Carnegie Mellon University: This report explores achieving interoperability in the acquisition process. It asserts that interoperability applies to the management and construction of a system, as well as to its operation. This idea leads to a broader view of interoperability. Also presented is the idea that the essential character of interoperability—related to data models and operational semantics—is independent of a domain of application. This report lists a number of basic assertions that can help organizations achieve interoperability in the acquisition process. A number of related key issues are also examined. Ultimately, it is expected that achieving interoperability will depend on a formal specification of acquisition. Technical Report CMU/SEI-2005-TR-004

Web Services Interoperability Technology

http://java.sun.com/webservices/interop/

Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT) is an open-source implementation of next generation Web services technologies that deliver interoperability between Java EE and .Net to help you build, deploy, and maintain Composite Applications for your Service Oriented Architecture. Built upon JAX-WS (Java API for XML Web Services), this implementation will be made available as the "Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT)" and is focused on four main categories: Messaging, Metadata, Security, and Quality-of-Service (QoS).

Interoperability at the SOAP message level

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-soa-intersoap/index.html

Can a commonly agreed-upon XML schema guarantee a successful data exchange between systems using Web services? Find the answer in this case study. You'll see how to define a WSDL document to achieve interoperability at the SOAP message level when an integration layer is involved. Both Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) and document styles of Web service are discussed.

Commission's communication on interoperability

http://europa.eu.int/idabc/en/document/5316

On 13 February 2006, the Commission issued a communication on interoperability for pan-European eGovernment services (COM (2006) 45 final). The communication calls upon member states to collaborate so that interoperability is realized at European level. The communication identifies interoperability as a key element for the delivery of eGovernment services in the EU where multiple government layers - cross border, national, regional and local - are involved. In this context, where disparate actors need to exchange information and communicate, it is essential that the technical, organisational and semantic aspects of interoperability are addressed. Therefore, the Commission wishes to collaborate closely with the member states to set priorities, establish policy documents, guidelines and technical recommendations, thus encouraging further standardisation and interoperability.
