Summary 

This report highlights the spread of opinion amongst a group of European experts in application areas of identity management on the issue of interoperability of such systems.  It builds from an earlier report that presented a literature review and an account of research in interoperability.  It uses the three-part conceptual framework of technical, formal and informal dimensions through which to frame the questions posed and interpret the answers given.  The 23 interviewees from 5 different European countries, while differing in detail, display a remarkable consensus on much of the issues.  Application areas from which the experts are drawn cover egovernment, ehealth and ecommerce, and while, given their specific nature, there may be many points on which such areas diverge, the likelihood of interoperability is deemed to turn on a small number of key questions, mostly non-technical.  Importance is given to building trust in the citizen and end-user through good communication, usability, compliance with data protection and privacy principles.
