Abstract:
Many initiatives have been carried out by governments around
the world which have aimed to define common ICT standards for the public
sector. However, the majority of data exchange conducted among public
administrations is still based on paper or proprietary data formats. Public
ICT is therefore lacking integration. The widespread use of common
standards is especially hard to achieve in federally organized countries.
Determinants for the adoption of common data exchange standards in such
countries are identified in this paper. A conceptual model is drawn from a
review of the literature and analyzed in a qualitative case study which is
carried out in 13 municipalities of the German federal system. Seven
determinants for the adoption of data exchange standards are identified.
The paper concludes with practical implications on how the adoption of
common data exchange standards can be increased.
