Scope:
Due to the massively increasing complexity of information requirements, there is an urgent need for the direct integration of highly up-to-date data from a wide variety of sources directly into the processing and business processes of local, national, European and global organizations (public sector, private sector, NGOs, etc.).

On the operational level of RISK Information Management, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic coherence (full semiotics coherence i.e. on syntax, semantics and pragmatics level) needs to be achieved on local, regional, national and international levels. Special attention is given to ontologies that cover pragmatics (multi-stakeholder operational decision and action management concepts for workflows and processes in dynamic situations) including modeling goal reaching control.

Just-in-time information and complexity:
Complex dynamic processing and use of information from a wide variety of sources (big data) for data-based evaluations / assessments and for analysis and decision support for a large number of stakeholders require time-critical modeling and implementation in the sense of highly professional logistics. Quality characteristics are specified by the respective use and must typically be negotiated with the information providers in the individual process steps with regard to just-in-time availability and use (SOPs Standard Operational Procedures and SLAs Service Level Agreements). This also includes justified requirements for 24/7 availability of adequate systems.

The RIMMA CoE expert group “Procedural Interoperability” has set itself the following goals, among others:
– Development of a structured methodology
– Highlighting the particular challenges and opportunities in the cooperation of complex sets of stakeholders (administration, private sector, “all-of-society”, civil-military cooperation) at local, national, European and international level
– Importance of technical and socio-economic infrastructures (and ways to derive, develop, document and make available their criticality measures / stability / need for renewal and innovation etc.) in the sense of permanent central information requirements of a resilient society
– Compilation of elements of a strategy
– Presentation of the need for R&D action (including feasibility)
– Identification of synergy effects
– Formulation of proposals for the approach (roadmap)
– Derivation of effectiveness criteria
– Addressing legal issues (data access legislation and regulations)
– Recommendations for integrated license management (legal, financial)
– Cooperation with GI-UIS-ExG on the topics of “environmental information, sustainable development, green economy and resilience” link [DE]
