The EIP SCC has defined key priority areas which will be addressed including the architecture principle of Capabilities. Capabilities are the center element of the architectures to ensure that a common ground is easy to be found.(https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/documents/downloadPublic?documentIds=080166e5b9a18c76&appId=PPGMS) Interoperability Saliency: The Architecture Principle ABB is salient for governance interoperability due to it lays the architectural framework to elaborate public services. Also, the Architecture Principle ABB is salient for organizational interoperability due to it establishes the requirements to sustain the business processes for enabling public services to exchange data. Additional information: The architecture Principle reflects the level of consensus among the various elements of the enterprise, and form the basis for making future IT decisions.
