The Measurement of Quality of Semantic Standards: the Application of a Quality Model on the SETU standard for eGovernment
conference paper
eGovernment interoperability should be dealt with using high-quality standards. A quality model for
standards is presented based on knowledge from the software engineering domain. In the tradition of
action research the model is used on the SETU standard, a standard that is mandatory in the public
sector of the Netherlands in order to achieve eGovernment interoperability. This results in improvement suggestions for the SETU standards, just as improvement suggestions for the quality model have been identified. Most importantly it shows that a quality model can be used for several purposes, including selecting standards for eGovernment interoperability.
