eEurope 2005 Action Plan – An UpdateCOM(2004) 380 final, 17.05.2004 : 

eEurope 2005 Action Plan – An Update COM(2004) 380 final, 17.05.2004 Action 11: Create the appropriate conditions for an Enterprise Interoperability Centre to become operational by the end of 2005. The insufficient interoperability of business applications continues to impede the adoption of new forms of collaboration in which business processes, resources, skills and, eventually, knowledge are shared. Very often rather than lacking standards, it is the proliferation of standards that hampers interoperability. In this context a new Integrated Project has been launched under the IST priority of the 6th Framework Programme with a view to contributing to Enterprise Interoperability Support. The results will be disseminated through an ‘Enterprise Interoperability Centre' which will become operational after its business plan is approved by the Commission services by April 2005. All stakeholders, including the private sector and Member States will be invited to play an active role in the work of this new centre in order to promote a common platform for debate on interoperability issues.

Information SharingSolving the Basic Problems: 

Information Sharing Solving the Basic Problems What is 'common' information? How to handle information in changing contexts? Who owns the information? Who controls the information? Who quality-controls the information? What are the (minimum) rules needed to ensure that the information is available, accurate, and of the 'required' quality?
