Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

Contribution to the national body position through discussions with our members provides a voice to the concerns or challenges of our SMEs as well as to larger organisations.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)

It is critical to establish common European standards linking hardware and software particularly in new areas of technology and standardization. Example use cases include the improvement of reliability of edge and cloud computing where processing of personal data, or highly regulated data is concerned. This is even more important when considering the complexities of combining (even anonymized) data sets and processing that data in cloud hosted environments. With the impact of layered approaches to address these complexities the necessity to harmonize software and cloud-based techniques is essential.

Impact on SMEs (8th Open Call)

This preliminary work item has been proposed so that we can separate out the concepts involved in observability. Observability can occur across cloud computing, mutli-cloud, distributed platforms and other areas. From early discussions with national bodies on the proposed preliminary work item was created to ensure a clear separation between the standards that are anticipated to come out of the work. Work on dataspaces with the CEN/CENELEC JTC 25 group have also indicated a need for greater quality management which can be enhanced through the application of observability. With these potential work items delineated more clearly we can aid growing organizations to improve their quality management in a scalable manner. This is essential for companies expanding across a European or wider market.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

As a national body we have members contributing to the CEN Focus Group on 'Data, Dataspaces, Cloud and Edge'. We feel this is important as the cloud supports data and dataspaces whilst at the same time data is utilised in supporting the cloud. This could have a large impact on standards created in the near future. Obtaining expert advice from many areas is important in this early stage of these standards.

Impact on society (8th Open Call)

Europe needs to continue the harmonisation of standards across standards bodies in evolving areas such of software development for cloud hosted or cloud enabled technologies. The key areas of Cloud computing and distributed platforms, and software development are essential supports for dataspaces, data management in Big Data and AI.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

Satellite communications are a key enabler to provide inclusion by reaching remote areas and ensure safety and communications during disasters. It is important that standardised solutions are made available (e.g., via 3GPP) and then made into ITU Recommendations which provide the Regulatory framework for a large number of countries.

Many of these standards, e.g. Bias, impact society. In terms of SMEs, I have been closely associated with a software SME, and always ask myself how this SME would be impacted.

Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)

Many of these standards, e.g. Bias, impact society. In terms of SMEs, I have been closely associated with a software SME, and always ask myself how this SME would be impacted. I am also sensitive to the views of one of my editors who is CTO of an Austrian SME.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

The EU AI Act places high importance on cybersecurity of AI systems and products, but there is comparatively little work done on this, and none that has reached the level of mature standards. Hence it is important to develop these standards, and ensure that they reflect both the cybersecurity point of view and the specific difficulties of AI, as in the ETSI list , and possibly wider.

Impact on society (7th Open Call)

Europe has already seen many cybersecurity attacks, whether by hostile nation states or by criminal gangs, even before AI becomes widely deployed. The impact of these has already led to at least one death, as well as much damage and distress. As AI becomes more widely deployed, these risks will only grow, and need effective standards-driven mitigations. The impact of my work will be coherence between the developing European standards in ISO-IEC JTC/1 SC27 and the current international draft standards in the area of cybersecurity. In addition, I will feed in research from the cybersecurity community as it affects AI-specific attack methods.

Impact on society (9th Open Call)

Artificial Intelligence has numerous societal implications, particularly around implicit biases. Machine Learning learns from data which reflects the society we have (or had if the data is historic) rather than the society we believe we have, or wish we have. Hence my WG is working on a Bias standard, dealing operationally with detection and mitigation, to build on the excellent work does in ISO-IEC, to which I have contributed. Furthermore, I frequently give interviews with media (typically UK media) on AI. I have also spoken on AI standardisation at relevant subject-matter conferences (on Natural Language Processing and Symbolic Methods)

Digitisation of European Industry

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) will be required for almost any physical product, starting in 2026 for some product groups and then subsequently widening its application range. This means that all manufacturers are required to provide various sustainability-related data on their products, once they enter the European market.
With the advent of the DPP, technical communication will most probably either be part of the DPP or strongly intertwined with the information provided through it. Technical communicators who are capable of providing product information arranged into a machine-readable concept model of the product and its context of use are in high demand on the labour market and in the freelance consultant market. Approaching the modeling task in accordance with the principles that will be laid out in the NWIP will help them to perform their work more easily and in a well-structured manner.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)

Digital representations of assets can be found not only in models, simulations and Asset Administration Shells of products, but also in the associated technical documentation that becomes increasingly modular and context-specific. The appropriateness of its semiotic modes, combination of multimodal elements and choice of output media highly depends on the product’s context of use, incorporating users’ capabilities, tasks and goals, physical, technical and organizational environments, and available resources.
The proposed standard supports technical communicators and similar roles in designing, structuring and delivering product-related information to users of that product. It provides advice on how to set up a style guide that determines what modes, multimodal elements and media are appropriate for specified contexts of product use. In SMEs, which cannot afford large technical communication departments with employees covering a broad range of expertise, this approach is essential for streamlining processes and adhering to legal requirements.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

The information chunks that convey conceptual information will conform to the “Intelligent information for use” metadata scheme, so that they provide meta-information about their semantics and hence become machine-readable and semantically interoperable with other information, e.g., in other submodels of the AAS. Which is, on the other hand, a prerequisite for their accessibility via differing sensory modalities in humans and therefore for barrier-free communication. This aspect has gained in importance with the imminent entry into force of the European Accessibility Act in June 2025.

Impact on society (6th Open Call)

Technical documentation increasingly turns into a set of fine-grained technical information assets featuring semantics via metadata on context of use parameters. These information assets hence become machine-readable and semantically interoperable with other information, e.g., AAS or DPP submodels. Which is, on the other hand, a prerequisite for their accessibility via differing sensory modalities in humans and therefore for barrier-free communication. This aspect has gained in importance with the imminent entry into force of the European Accessibility Act in June 2025.

The project contribution in terms of the CWA under development will support SMEs that want to or are required legally to have a DPP for their products, which is a majority of SMEs in Europe. Close to 30 product categories are expected to be mandated to have a DPP in the mid-term future. To ensure the CWA effort is impactful for SMEs consideration is made of CEN-CENELEC GUIDE 17: Guidance for writing standards taking into account SME needs (2010). The impact on these SMEs is expected in terms of accelerating their journey to develop and set up their Digital Product Passport. By providing a concise guidance document that has been developed as a CWA pre-standard for understanding the scope, context, potentials and design and implementation decisions for Digital product passports.
