XML in public administration
Glossary Page
XML-based eGovernment defines specialized standards for electronic data exchange in public administration. These standards, known as XÖV standards, enable seamless execution of electronic business processes. An XÖV framework has been developed to provide the basis for the development of these standards. It contains core rules designed to achieve the goals of "interoperability improvement," "cost reduction for XÖV standardization, and project risk." The XÖV framework also serves as a basis for the coordination of XÖV activities. The guidelines and project procedures described in the framework are to be applied in the technical standardization work of the public administration, especially in the development of cross-national standards. This is intended to improve and significantly advance the implementation of standardization projects.
