"The EU Commission has just announced its 5-year plan for IT,
which they call its Digital Agenda:
"The Agenda outlines seven priority areas for action: creating a
digital Single Market, greater interoperability, boosting internet
trust and security, much faster internet access, more investment in
research and development, enhancing digital literacy skills and
inclusion, and applying information and communications technologies
to address challenges facing society like climate change and the
ageing population. Examples of benefits include easier electronic
payments and invoicing, rapid deployment of telemedicine and energy
efficient lighting. In these seven areas, the Digital Agenda
foresees some 100 follow-up actions, of which 31 would be
legislative.
"What interests us at Groklaw the most on that list of seven
areas is interoperability, I'd wager, and here's the goal they set
for that:
"Improve ICT standard-setting and interoperability
"To allow people to create, combine and innovate we need ICT
products and services to be open and interoperable."
