New European Norm not sufficient as

common denominator

page 11

• Software developer and cloud operators addressing

European market required to support the EN from 2018

• Very useful, but as only common denominator too small

• Transport/delivery and business layers not specified

• Extended support for seamless cloud interoperability and

API communication with business software required

• My suggestion: Specify an Interoperability Reference

Model as common denominator at least for semantic, syntax

and transport orientation for the IT community
