Interoperability

Um, and that is quite different from being interoperable.

Mm.

Interoperable means you've established the conditions in terms of, uh, um, systems and, um, all of the operational aspects, um, w- whereby two separate military forces can cooperate with each other in a joint action.

But interchangeable is quite different, um, because it means that, um, then they're not separately identifiable.

Which means that, um, if, for instance, uh, the, uh ...

The standards organizations have been, I'm not saying begging, but pushing governments to put this in their mandates for, for a lot of years, because this is the, the maturity curve that we're in, and we can do this as governments because of all the amazing work that the SDOs have done in the last 20 to 30 years in getting us to this level of maturity that we're now able to mandate this.

Interoperability never starts with a law.

It's always the formalization of a, a set of capabilities that have been built by the industry, by the healthcare professionals, by the standards development communities, and that we are now formalizing.

But part of that formalization is that government takes a bigger role and has a bigger public responsibility and accountability for that.

That's our commitment.

It is, in a way, it is part of the European data moonshot, and, and again, you also mentioned the AI Act.

There's also the Data Act and the data governance and the Digital Services and the Digital Markets Act and the Interoperability Act for the public interoperability.

There's the NIS and the CER, the cybersecurity regulation.
