In order for businesses to gain added value from partnerships, they need to be structured and adapted to collaborate. Which facilitate quick and efficient implementation of decision-making processes, project change, knowledge transfer et cetera. Congruent structures are the second general mechanism identified in the study of data and information exchange within a partnership between train operators and the Swedish Transport Administration. The first mechanism highlights interoperability for digital resources and infrastructure.
A recently completed study examined railway operators perspectives on digital value creation within the partnership between Swedish Transport Administration and national railway operators for data and information exchange. The first mechanism identified of three, highlights value creation of data and information exchange and alignment of information system used within the collaboration.
Clear Byte is a non governmental organisation working with applied research. The organisation has been registered as a NGO in Västra Götaland Sweden since 2011.
Our core principles are based on collaboration, participation and openness to promote democratisation and trust in society’s ability to deliver added value and digital services associated to digital transformation and development. As a civil society actor, we believe that social entrepreneurship is important to enable an ecosystem perspective that includes all parts – not just the private and public sector, to create participation and openness to digital transformation and development of the society.

Integrated digital public services
The EU program for interoperability ISA² – defines integrated digital public services as the ability to seamlessly exchange data and execution of services that form the building blocks for important digital public services. In order to enable such services dataset must be able to be inter-exchanged horizontally between social and private sectors without the need of integration to interpret concept and digital resources for both man and machine. This is defined as semantic interoperability when data representing structures, rules, logic, temporal and geographic concepts can be interpreted and reused without integration across business domain and national boundaries. Organisational interoperability refers to the ability to harmonise digital description of service- level, quality, delivery without the need of adapting organisational processes, structures and routines between producer and consumer of service.
Initially, Clear Byte focuses on the layers of semantic and organizational interoperability to identify barriers and important design principles for developing integrated digital public services.

Open source, standards, data and innovation
Open technology and innovation are key to the success of developing digital public services. This is to create participation and opportunities to collaborate with more types of actors who can contribute to a vision of sustainable digital development and to innovate and find solutions to existing and future social problems. Large tech companies, platform owners, and startups use open technology and innovation as a central mechanism to enable the digital paradigm shift. For example, the lion’s share of the services offered on Amazon’s Web Services are built on open source, which is made available via unified digital infrastructure such as software components, storage capacity and computing power depending on user demans Clear Byte has conducted study in the transport sector on how open data – which is based on principles from open source and standards, contributes to added value for players and third-party developers. Results also show that interoperable digital resources based on open technology and standards create the conditions for the exchange of data and information. You will find several articles about open source and open data on our website.
