by Oliver Bell. Osrin.net, 13 March 2009. "... Interoperability, on the level needed to deliver eGovernment connected services, isn't a technical challenge today. In many cases the organizational and semantic language issues need a lot more focus. If we are going to see governments meet the goals of common and unified service delivery then we really need to see more work in these two areas, and accept that the evolution of the internet has resolved many of the technical challenges that we set out to solve in London ten years ago."

by Sylvia Archmann, Immanuel Kudlacek. European Journal of ePractice, 5 February 2008. Topic: Interoperability and infrastructure; Country: EU Institutions. "The exchange of good practice is a valuable tool to boost eGovernment services across Europe’s public administrations. To achieve an open and competitive digital economy, public administrations have to be linked together and therefore need to be interoperable.

Government Technology, November 19, 2007. "The findings of an international study released by researchers from the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School and the Research Center for Information Law, University of St. Gallen indicate that private-sector leadership, more so than government intervention, is the optimal method for ensuring that technologies work well together and innovation flourishes. The authors of Breaking Down Digital Barriers: When and How ICT Interoperability Drives Innovation, which was sponsored by Microsoft, found that interoperability is generally good for consumers and drives innovation, but determined that there is no "silver bullet" solution to the issue.

Support grows for new way to integrate information analysis and retrieval tools, By Brian Robinson. Federal Computer Week, April 10, 2006. "Despite the hype surrounding popular search engines such as Google and Yahoo, the kind of keyword search technology those services use are not enough to satisfy many of the government’s industrial-strength information management requirements. With agencies riding herd on an expanding amount of unstructured information contained in Web sites, e-mail messages and other file formats, the government must address a critical need for tools to help people make sense of the online information, not simply search for the occurrence of a handful of words..."
