OStEA

OStEA ( Open Standards and their Early Adoption) is a public university research project sponsored by the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation . The aim of the project is to identify issues related to government policy with regard to open standards. E-government implementations and development of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) solutions will be focal points the project's research within the overall idea of a governance framework for open standards and their early adoption.
OStEA project is run by two faculty members of the Department of Informatics at the Copenhagen Business School – Mogens Kühn Pedersen , Head of Department and Professor, and Vladislav V. Fomin, GSCM - Montpellier Business School, France.
Some of the research questions we pursue answering are:
  • The viable/plausible scope of open standards as pertaining to the government ICT policy.
  • Identification of relevant standards pool and the relevant ongoing standardization in various fora.
  • Identification of perceived needs for open standards and the reasons and opportunities in government adopting an open standards governance policy.
  • Government's participation in standardization.
  • Conformance to standards in public procurement/ discrimination against non-compliant standards.
The project commenced on 1st of February, 2006 and will end on June 24, 2006.
