Importance of interoperability

Libon referred to the critical importance of interoperability in security and exchanging criminal records. Interoperability in criminal records was seen as more important for interoperability of eID systems because he saw less demand for cross-border functionality in ID cards. Libon also points out the importance of establishing common rules about names, categories and understanding of the terms. He sees his role as head of the Fedict (Belgium’s Ministry of ICT) as key to establishing this common syntactic and semantic interoperability.

 

Timmers sees interoperability in identity systems as the key driver for innovation and progress in Europe. For him identity management and interoperability across member states remains a key driver for innovation and progress in Europe. He positions interoperability as an issue related with eID projects. He has promoted European collaborative research projects in this area because of previously lack of understanding and fragmented approaches.

 

Both Hollosi and Martin held interoperability to be a critical factor in the success of the new Austrian identity card. Platform independence was considered essential for selecting the technology infrastructure for this project.
