RDA ICT Technical Specifications

The document discusses the identification of ICT technical specifications in Europe. It provides definitions for standard, technical specification, and ICT technical specification. It describes the process by which the European Commission can identify new ICT technical specifications through the European Multi Stakeholder Platform. This involves submitting specifications, evaluation, and a decision by the Commission. It highlights nine Research Data Alliance recommendations that have gone through this process.

- 3. Identification of ICT specifications in Europe The European Commission has a flexible approach to standardisation when identifying new ICT technical specifications. The Research Data Alliance has presented 9 of the RDA Recommendations to be evaluated and acknowledged as ICT Technical Specifications. WHY? The European Commission can identify ICT technical specifications that are not national, European, or international standards, provided they meet precise requirements. Once identified and approved, these specifications can then be referenced in European public procurement. This flexible approach allows the EU to respond to the fast evolution of technology in ICT. It also helps encourage competition, promote interoperability and innovation, and facilitate the provision of cross-border services. https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/identification-ict-specifications CC BY-SA 4.0

- 5. Who is involved in this process? • The European Multi Stakeholder Platform (MSP) is an expert advisory group on ICT standardisation. • It deals with: • Potential future ICT standardisation needs in support of European legislation, policies and public procurement; • Technical specifications for public procurements, developed by global ICT standards-developing organisations; • Cooperation between ICT standards-setting organisations; • The Rolling Plan, which provides a multi-annual overview of the needs for preliminary or complementary ICT standardisation activities in support of the EU policy activities The Multistakeholder platform (MSP) is chaired and coordinated by the European Commission.
