In Support of Openness

Today the Berkman Center released the Roadmap for Open Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Ecosystems. The Roadmap demonstrates how to build our technological environment to foster interoperability and growth. From the report:

Technology’s transformative power has always been a source of great expectation and challenge. Today, globalization, fueled by information and communication technologies (ICT) is rapidly changing every society. Our drive towards globalization creates a new set of unique demands on government, business, and our everyday lives. Increasingly, decision makers in all fields are looking to technology to provide solutions and drive desired changes by commingling local, national, and global resources in innovative ways.

This Roadmap was produced by a collaboration of public, private, and non-governmental experts from every region of the world, all of whom joined together under the auspices of the Open ePolicy Group. Members of the Open ePolicy Group contributing to the report include Jeffrey A. Kaplan and representatives of IBM Corporation and Oracle.
