Abstract:
Certification of interoperability is an important quality measure, which can foster the success of eHealth
projects. Often these projects test and certify interoperability for specific purposes. The achievement of
long-term interoperability is often not in the scope of these projects. In this paper we describe the importance
of expandability for the long-term interoperability. Further we show, how a structured criteria catalogue
for the certification process can be derived for these two quality factors.
