IT-Standards

  • SAGA: Neue Version der Standards für E-Government

    Das Bundesinnenministerium (BMI) erhöht die Revisionsnummer seiner Standards und Architekturen für E-Government-Anwendungen (SAGA) auf 2.1 (PDF-Datei). Neu hinzugekommen ist ein Abschnitt über Webformulare: Der Standard XForms 1.0 steht nun als Ablösung von HTML und XHTML unter Beobachtung. Sonstige Änderungen umfassen Korrekturen, Übernahmen von bisherigen Vorschlägen und eine aktualisierte Beschreibung der Basisbausteine.

  • Schweiz: Neue E-Government-Architektur-Standards verabschiedet

    Der Verein eCH für E-Government-Standards hat die aktualisierte Version V3-0 von SAGA.ch (Standardarchitekturen für E-Government-Anwendungen Schweiz) verabschiedet. SAGA.ch V3-0 enthält überarbeitete technische Richtlinien und Standards für die Entwicklung von E-Government-Anwendungen in der Schweiz und orientiert sich an internationalen Standards, die sich im Markt bewährt haben.

  • Stadtwerke standardisieren ihre Informationstechnologie

    Die deutschen Stadtwerke haben im Zusammenhang mit den Anforderungen des Unbundlings Optimierungsbedarf bei ihren IT-Systemen. Auf einer Schulnotenskala bewerten Fach- und Führungskräfte von regionalen Versorgern ihre Informationstechnologie lediglich mit der Note "befriedigend". Das ist das Ergebnis einer Branchenstudie von Mummert Consulting, die heute in Hamburg vorgestellt wurde. Das Problem: Die häufig über Jahre gewachsenen technischen Infrastrukturen sind teuer und unterstützen die Versorger noch nicht adäquat bei den künftigen Prozessanforderungen. Ein wichtiger Schritt zur Verbesserung der Kosteneffizienz bei IT-Anwendungen ist die Standardisierung. Standardsoftware wie SAP soll die individuellen Einzellösungen ersetzen, Prozessverbesserungen ermöglichen und bis zu 23 Prozent der Kosten einsparen.

  • The Benefits of Standard IT Governance Frameworks

    In the wake of 9/11 and corporate debacles such as Enron, organizations are taking a serious look at their information technology (IT) groups and questioning the governance models necessary to minimize risks and maximize returns.

  • UK: Local e-Gov Standards Body to take over local government XML schemas

    The Cabinet Office e-Government Unit (eGU) will hand over responsibility for the management of local government XML schemas to the Local e-Government Standards Body(e-SB) from 1 April 2005.

    As part of this process local government XML schemas currently held on GovTalk will be migrated to e-SB’s Custodian website. The two organisations will work in partnership to ensure continuity of service for schema users and developers.

  • UK: OGC announce success in search for common IT language

    The Office of Government Commerce has today announced the successful completion of its recently launched "Proof of Concept" XML assessment trials. The resulting single IT language will revolutionise the way government suppliers conduct business with the public sector.

  • UK: OGC backs XML

    The UK Treasury agency has given the green light for plans to use the computer language for online procurement

    Trials to test the validity of extensible mark-up language (XML) in e-procurement have been successful, according to the Office of Government Commerce

  • USA: Cybersecurity standardization moves forward

    The Office of Management and Budget launched a task force on cybersecurity consolidation last week with the goal of increasing computer security and cutting costs.

    Tim Young, OMB's associate administrator for e-government and information technology, said at a conference in Falls Church, Va., Tuesday that the consolidation effort has strong support among agencies. He said that the question of whether agencies can share common processes associated with information technology security is meant to spark a dialogue in the IT security community.

  • USA: DHS, Justice launch federal data model

    Criminal justice XML implementation could be basis for a government schema

    The Homeland Security and Justice departments have unveiled plans to work jointly on a common computer language that could become a model for agencies to use to share information.

    Dubbed the National Information Exchange Model, this Extensible Markup Language framework will use Justice’s Global Justice XML Data Model as its base.

  • USA: Fed's IPv6 plan called a "game changer"

    Internet leaders say 2012 deadline for e-gov services to support new standard will spur IT industry

    Internet policymakers and industry leaders are hailing the Obama Administration's plan to upgrade all federal Web sites and e-government services over the next two years to support IPv6, the long-anticipated upgrade to the Internet's main communications protocol.

    Also see: At long last, Obama highlights IPv6 issue

    The plan was released today by Federal CIO Vivek Kundra, who issued a memo requiring all federal agencies to upgrade their public-facing Web services – including Web, email, DNS and ISP services – to native IPv6 by September 30, 2012.

  • USA: First Public XML Standard for Transfer of US Election Data

    Proposed Standard Will Allow Seamless Exchange of Critical Election Data

    Hart InterCivic, a leader in providing electronic voting technology to meet the national priority on election reform, has released a new public XML standard for exchange of critical information required to effectively manage elections, including cast vote data, election management data, and ballot definition data.

    Hart InterCivic has titled the new standard Election Data eXchange (EDX), and is making it publicly available on the Hart website at http://www.hartintercivic.com/edx.html. EDX is the first open published election data standard for United States elections.

  • USA: Health IT standards body in the offing

    Health and Human Services secretary Michael Leavitt this week will name the members of the public/private organization that will set standards to enable the exchange of health care data.

    Within two days, Leavitt said, he will select 17 members from federal and state government and from industry, including health care providers, insurers and IT vendors, to form the American Health Information Community.

  • USA: Innovation across the pond: The future of IT infrastructure

    It used to be that all it took to run a major information technology project in government was a name. Until 2002, an IT investment business case submitted to the Office of Management and Budget provided no other information about the leader of a project. But now, OMB insists on evidence that project managers are qualified, and offers specific guidance on what that means in terms of skill levels and accountability. It also requires that the project managers use earned value management and other sophisticated techniques. These new requirements started a minor revolution, and agencies that got on board have seen profound benefits, including reduced paperwork and superior results. Those that resisted have seen their budget requests challenged and sometimes rejected.

  • USA: Standardizing Government Rules

    Lockheed Martin leads a project in which e-business technologies (like XML-based integration) aim to simplify a common government process, boost citizen participation.

    Lockheed Martin recently landed a $98 million contract for E-Rulemaking, which itself is one of the 24 e-government initiatives under the aegis of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

  • XDI: OASIS arbeitet an Datenaustausch über XML

    Die Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) hat nach eigenen Angaben mit der Entwicklung eines Standards zum Austausch maschinenlesbarer Daten begonnen. Dieser soll auf der Extensible Markup Language (XML) und "Extensible Resource Identifiers" (XRIs) basieren. XRI ist ein gleichfalls in Entwicklung befindliches, URI-kompatibles (Uniform Resource Identifier) abstraktes Identifizierungsschema.
