eGovernment Newsletter / Fraunhofer FOKUS / Interoperability

Download and check the International eGovernment Newsletter from FOKUS / ELAN, "... with a particular emphasis on the areas of interoperability, service-oriented architectures, identity management and process-oriented IT-governance, the Competence Center for eGovernment is a prominent partner in the establishment of eGovernment in Germany and Europe."

Prof. Dr. Radu Popescu-Zeletin, Director Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems FOKUS, states: "Who isn’t familiar with the following scenario: you are sitting in your office, the deadline
is rapidly approaching, and you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of an important document. Finally, the mail arrives, you click to open the attachment – and the only thing that appears on your screen is an error message saying “unknown file format”. The hassle that results from this makes us lose faith in our digital helpers. This is a symptomatic case of an interoperability problem."
