In terms of content, the Roadmap for Open ICT Ecosystems helps people understand what open ICT ecosystems are, why they are embraced and how to evolve them. It also demonstrates how introducing “openness” across an ICT ecosystem provides new ways to drive efficiency, innovation and growth to meet the needs of a high-speed, on-demand world.
The Roadmap for Open ICT Ecosystems provides policy recommendations, tools and case studies related to ICT issues such as open standards, interoperability frameworks, open-source software, a Capability Maturity Model designed to gauge ICT ecosystems, and technology procurement.
The Open ePolicy Group coined the word openization to describe the process of increasing an ecosystem's capacity to integrate and sustain open technologies, collaborative models, interchangeable components, and transparent processes. The Roadmap principally applies this concept to a technology or ICT ecosystem, but it could apply to other fields.
The Roadmap is available in five languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish.

Famous quotes containing the word open:
“Rats!
They fought the dogs and killed the cats,
And bit the babies in the cradles,
And ate the cheeses out of the vats,
And licked the soup from the cooks’ own ladles,
Split open the kegs of salted sprats,
Made nests inside men’s Sunday hats,
And even spoiled the women’s chats
By drowning their speaking
With shrieking and squeaking
In fifty different sharps and flats.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
