EPR-forum organization: EPR-Forum has given input to four international prosjects: EPR-forum will develop the concept : "Together with Quality" as a common vision in all new application areas.
The general functional eFolder and eDevice standard will be audited and presented as a common and open Super Structure interaction standard. The standard is based on international and "real" open SOA standards. Reusable Components(rule based templates) will be specified through open semantic dictionaries and template engines will be built upon open source code. For some user areas it will also be developed open applications that can be used to connect frameworks. With open, we mean that they will be made available for all approved parties. With approved we mean that the part has committed to respect and follow the traffic rules. EPR-forum is an open standard organization that promotes the use of open standards in general and specially the EPR-eFolder and EPR-eDevice concepts. EPR-forum will cooperate with OASIS. OASIS is the leading international standardization organization in this area. OASIS produces open standards and industrial standards. EPR-forum will secure that PSQA philosophy with the EPR-eFolder and EPR-device standards remains as open standards. Therefore all relevant documents will be marked with this text:
