IT technologies is one of the most discussed areas of the administration of government improvement. To identify status and trends of national e-government interoperability frameworks an expert survey was conducted. The latest draft version of the EIF defines interoperability as “to interact towards mutually beneficial and agreed common goals” and covers the political and legal level additionally to the organizational, semantic, and technical dimension, already defined by the first version of the EIF1. The five interoperability dimensions and the three defined groups of survey questions are correlated: on a supranational level political and legal issues are most relevant, while interoperability frameworks often cover technical standardisation and semantic assets.
