Abstract:
|
This paper presents a qualitative and quantitative study on
the role of policies in Denmark and Germany in shaping the adoption of open
standards and software in government. A comprehensive functionality test,
surveys and interviews with suppliers and users in local authorities of
both countries have been conducted, together with policy document
analyses. While in Denmark open document standards have been bindingly
introduced by legislation, Germany adopts a blended top-down and bottom-up
approach, only providing recommendations. Although, as a result, it seems
that Denmark ranks much higher in the adoption of open document standards,
the overall picture is blurrier, as for instance only a small minority of
public employees use open source software. The authors also suggest that
the need for open standards might actually be overstated, as the rapid
adoption of e.g. the PDF document format has made it in practice almost
irrelevant.
