    Declan Deasy
    Director, DG Informatics, European Commission

• • "The EU Commission is doing a great job…but its not yet enough: it really depends on the individuals and on the willingness of the people to make their information available and to communicate with each other."

    Stefan Decker
    Director of the Digital Enterprise Research Institute, Ireland

• • "We would like to foster more collaboration between the Member States. We know that it exists, however we think that electronic cooperation between the Member States can bring additional value both to the Member State administrations and to the citizens and businesses."

    ISA Programme Manager, DG Informatics, European Commission

• • "The key challenges in Europe are just like in the United States. It’s changing the cultural mindset, it’s making it happen, it’s getting people out of their silos, out of their silos."

    Dr Brad Niemann
    Director and Senior Data Scientist at Semantic Community USA

• • "If we really want to promote semantic interoperability, we should not only concentrate on promoting technologies. But we should also try to promote what is at the core of semantic interoperability, which is basically common agreements."

    Vasilios Peristeras
    ISA Programme Manager, DG Informatics, European Commission
