Far
too difficult in this broad area! |
Established
liaisons
|
Also
far too difficult. The relevant CEN activities are generally
in liaison, or seeking to establish liaison, with relevant
global activities. CEN/ISSS has applied to sign the global
e-commerce standardization MoU. |
| Standardization
gaps |
Overall
standards framework for web services.
|
| Overlapping
standardization activities |
Serious
conflicts between cataloguing schemes, now beginning to
be addressed. Parallel proprietary "standards"
activities on web services. |
| Overlapping
areas |
eInvoicing. |
| Proposal
for future investigation |
Commission
proposal to consider major standards issues in context of
eEurope 2002. |
