Standardized

Explanation

In developing cross-border information exchange services, we comply with international and, where applicable, regional agreements, standards, and guidelines.

Rationale

Standardization supports reuse, scalability, automation, and reduces dependence on specific vendors.

Implications

• We follow international agreements (“apply or explain”).
• We design using the Nictiz interoperability model.
• We implement according to agreed exchange standards (e.g. Twiin).
• We use open standards and interfaces.
• We standardize processes and data.
• We apply FAIR data principles.
