"The Document Foundation (#TDF), the non-profit entity behind #LibreOffice, welcomes the inclusion of the Open Document Format (#ODF) as a mandated standard format in Germany’s Deutschland-Stack, the federal government’s sovereign digital infrastructure framework for all public administrations."

Florian Effenberger (@floeff), executive director of TDF: "You cannot claim digital sovereignty while allowing your documents to be locked in proprietary formats controlled by a single vendor."

Germany's Sovereign Digital Stack Mandates ODF: a Landmark Validation of Open Document Standards - TDF Community Blog

The Document Foundation (TDF), the non-profit entity behind LibreOffice, welcomes the inclusion of the Open Document Format (ODF) as a mandated standard format in Germany’s Deutschland-Stack, the federal government’s sovereign digital infrastructure framework for all public administrations. The Stack, published by the German Federal Ministry for Digital and State Modernisation (Bundesministerium für Digitales und Staatsmodernisierung), establishes the technical standards for a shared, interoperable and sovereign digital infrastructure serving all Germany’s public administrations. Under the framework’s “Semantic Technologies and Real-Time Analytics” pillar, ODF and PDF/UA are explicitly named as the two mandated document formats, to the exclusion of proprietary alternatives. “This is not a recommendation or a preference, it is a mandate,” said Florian Effenberger, Executive Director of The Document Foundation. “Germany’s decision to anchor ODF at the heart of its national sovereign stack confirms what we have argued for years: open, vendor-neutral document formats are not a niche concern for some technology specialists and FOSS advocates. They are a fundamental infrastructure for democratic, interoperable and sovereign public administrations.” The Deutschland-Stack is grounded in a set of principles that align with TDF’s long-standing advocacy positions. The framework adopts a “Made in EU first” principle, requires open interfaces and local data storage,

New Issue 72: Accessibility & re-use of archaeological collections in #heritage. EAC symposium proceedings management edited by Agnieszka Oniszczuk, Agnieszka Makowska and David Novák.
https://doi.org/10.11141/ia.72

People, participation and public value lie at the heart of archaeological practice and policy, and these principles are tested in the way we manage, preserve and reuse archaeological archives. The contributions collected here examine the ‘life after life’ of archaeological #archives.

They explore how digital/physical collections can be made accessible, meaningful & resilient while upholding professional #standards & societal expectations. Across three thematic sections, the volume addresses the #FAIR-ness of archaeological #data, the evolving role of archaeological #repositories, and the broader societal value of archives. Case studies from across Europe demonstrate the opportunities and risks of the digital transition, the increasing demands placed on repositories & the potential of archives to contribute to #science, #education, #health, #community engagement and #innovation.
