<h1>German ministries flout IT open interoperability requirements</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Survey finds only 2 of 87 departments are conforming to federal open
|
||||
document regulations</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p newsteaser="yes">Research published this week suggests that the majority
|
||||
of federal government departments in Germany are ignoring requirements to
|
||||
implement <a href="http://www.fsfe.org/projects/os/def.en.html">Open
|
||||
Standards</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A survey was conducted by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) to
|
||||
investigate the state of government adoption of ODF, and to promote wider
|
||||
uptake of Open Standards. "Although federal policy has wisely embraced Open
|
||||
Standards for interoperability, accessibility and security, it is clear that
|
||||
most government bodies are still using inefficient proprietary formats" said
|
||||
Karsten Gerloff, President of FSFE. "Ultimately citizens will end up paying
|
||||
the
|
||||
price for this lack of conformity through higher bills for public IT
|
||||
contracts,
|
||||
and slower services due to interoperability problems" he added. "They
|
||||
will also pay a price in freedom, as they are forced to use
|
||||
proprietary software and standards to communicate with government
|
||||
authorities".</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Since the beginning of 2010, the German Information Technology Council
|
||||
(Rat der IT-Beauftragten) has required state departments to support Open
|
||||
Document Format (ODF) in order to communicate with the growing number of
|
||||
individuals and organisations that use it. The policy, which is based upon the
|
||||
findings of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Committee - a panel of experts
|
||||
from the federal
|
||||
administration, requires that departments have the capacity to read, write
|
||||
and
|
||||
send ODF files.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When 87 letters were sent to the ministries challenging them to
|
||||
demonstrate
|
||||
their conformance by replying in the open format, only two of them replied
|
||||
in
|
||||
ODF as requested. The Chancellor's Office and the Ministry of Food,
|
||||
Agriculture
|
||||
and Consumer Protection (BMELV) were the sole respondents to use the correct
|
||||
format. Five other federal bodies responded: all of whom underlined the
|
||||
importance of Open Standards to them. Despite claiming that they were
|
||||
ODF capable however, instead used other non-ODF formats for their
|
||||
response.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Usage of ODF continues to grow in public institutions throughout the
|
||||
world, and is already officially approved in ten separate national standards
|
||||
organisations, in addition to being the mandatory standard for
|
||||
communication between NATO's 26 member states. "The Chancellor's Office and
|
||||
BMELV have set an example for Open Standards in public administration"
|
||||
concluded Matthias Kirschner, German Coordinator of FSFE, "but overall there
|
||||
is clearly a long way to go before practice meets policy for ODF in the German
|
||||
public sector".</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>FSFE shall continue to monitor ODF uptake in order to ensure the
|
||||
protection of German citizens' right to communicate using Free
|
||||
Software.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The seven bodies that participated in the survey were:</p>

|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Bundeskanzleramt (The Chancellor's Office)</li>
|
||||
<li>Bundesministerium für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und
|
||||
Verbraucherschutz (BMELV)</li>
|
||||
<li>Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI) Bundesforschungsinstitut für
|
||||
Kulturpflanzen</li>
|
||||
<li>Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung</li>
|

<li>Bundesministerium des Innern</li>
