New software standards for EIONET

Released on 2004-08-05

Since 2000, EIONET has had a software standards document, which describes the acceptable technology contractors can use. Today this document has been revised significantly.

The new version tries to forecast EIONET's software use for three years, making it less likely it becomes obsolete to quickly.

NB: This is what the general terms and conditions on EEA contracts say:

(8) When making information technology developments, the Contractor will adhere to the standards stated in the document "Software Standards of EEA and EIONET". The version of that live document that was effective at the date of contract or specific agreement signature prevails. Possible exceptions from the standards are handled through the provisions stated in the said document.
