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.

This blog uses simple analogies to explain the core challenges: outdated machines that can’t “speak” to modern systems, and people hesitant to share data without context or trust. With solutions like Asset Administration Shells and Data Spaces, manufacturers can unlock hidden value, foster secure collaboration, and take real steps toward digital transformation.

Enabling cross-ecosystem commerce: A perspective by NTT and T-Systems

T-Systems and NTT are shaping the future of trusted global data exchange by combining telecom-grade infrastructure with federated identity and dataspace interoperability. Their joint contributions to the IDSA paper and cross-border testbeds between Europe and Japan show how telcos can drive secure, scalable, and regulation-compliant data collaboration across ecosystems. This approach supports real-world use cases like Digital Product Passports, predictive maintenance, and circular economy models—laying the groundwork for a network of sovereign, interoperable digital infrastructures.
