- European Interoperability Framework (EIF) for European public services - in pdf format (1622kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). European Commission, 2010. Annex 2 to the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of Regions 'Towards interoperability for European public services' "... The purpose of the European Interoperability Framework (EIF) is:
• to promote and support the delivery of European public services by fostering cross-border and cross-sectoral interoperability;
• to guide public administrations in their work to provide European public services to businesses2 and citizens;
• to complement and tie together the various National Interoperability Frameworks (NIFs) at European level.
This non-technical document addresses all those involved in defining, designing and implementing European public services.
The EIF should be taken into account when making decisions on European public services that support the implementation of EU policy initiatives. The EIF should also be considered when establishing public services that in the future may be reused as part of European public services..."

- Progress Report: How Far Has Interoperability Come Since 9/11?
- By Chad Vander Veen, Associate Editor. Government Technology, August 17, 2010. "Almost nine years after the 9/11 attacks, most people look back with admiration at the efforts of emergency responders on the scene. And rightly so - men and women from all backgrounds risked and lost their lives trying to help minimize the death toll. Yet from the ashes arose a nagging question: Why couldn't public safety agencies communicate more effectively? In addition to setting the stage for the global war on terrorism, 9/11 also served to spotlight the inadequacies of the communications technology used by first responders. Critical information fell on deaf ears and in one case led to a fire brigade in the north World Trade Center tower being unable to hear commands to evacuate. New York City lost 121 firefighters in the north tower that day because their radios could not receive warnings issued by the city's police department..."
