Why Standards for eGP?
www.oasis-open.org
[email protected] Oasis-World Bank eGov Workshop 4-17-09 6
How Standards can help eGP• Enhance B2G/G2G connectivity and interoperability• Generate trust in electronic experience• Enhance competition and inclusion• Enhance efficiency and flexibility of public
procurement function• Enhance cooperation and transparency• Facilitate evolution and innovation • Increase return, reliability of investments• Avoid vendor lock-in

Use of Open Standards/Open Source by 14 leading eGP governments*
*Argentina, Australia (State of New South Wales), Brazil, Chile, Finland, Hong Kong, India (Indian Railways), Italy, Mexico, Norway, Romania, Singapore, South Korea, The Philippines
• 7 use proprietary development platforms. Other 7 (6 in Asia) use J2EE
• Only 4 use Linux, 2 of them in EU• Only 4 use Apache, the rest use proprietary web servers• 7 use MySQL, most others Oracle.• No one says to allow ODF documents. • Only 6 use UNSPSC.• Only 4 use XML, and only one uses ebXML for
interoperable electronic business • Only 4 use SOAP, 3 use UDDI, only 1 uses WSDL and
none use BPEL, WS-Security, WSCI (so much for SOAs).• Most use digital certificates and asymmetrical encription
for authentication.

The Typical Resulting System Today…
CORE OF SYSTEM IS A BLACK BOX
Limited Configurability
Vendor lock-in Effective monopoly pricing for new licenses
Limited Interoperability with other vendor systems

MDBs can Help by:• Developing lending instruments and procurement
procedures/documents for agile system development • Leveling procurement playing field for Open source
products. For example, of proprietary office suites with functionally equivalent open systems alternatives.
• Referencing good practice standards in guidelines, templates, model TOR, model specifications. Fex., ebXML, UMM, WSS, IMAP
• Recommending well established standards that are widely recognized and tested. Fex: SOA, Uncitral model laws, ODF, UNSPSC, BPEL4WS
• Requiring standards only very selectively, when economy/efficiency of investments, products or services would otherwise be compromised. Fex: XML, ISO 9000, ISO 14000 “or equivalent QA standards“.

In Closing…• Standards enhance economy, efficiency,
competition, transparency and evolution of eGP• Free and Open source SW (FOSS) facilitates and
accelerates use of open standards• Open standards/FOSS facilitate fast, iterative
development of eGovernance applications which now take too long and are very risk-prone.
• Governments cannot afford to build the organic, social applications of the future only with proprietary standards/technology.

In (really) Closing…
• MDBs can be far more proactive in referencing, recommending and sometimes even requiring Standards.
• MDB’s need to create level playing field for procurement of FOSS and for contracting of agile application development.
