Resumen

La interoperabilidad es clave para la digitalización de la administración pública y ayuda a mejorar servicios públicos, ahorra tiempo, reduce costos y aumenta transparencia. También es crucial para superar desafíos sociales, como el cambio climático, vivienda, salud, eficiencia energética y movilidad urbana. Sin embargo, su implementación es compleja y sensible al contexto. Con el fin de apoyar a los Estados miembros de la Unión Europea, desde 2004 la Comisión Europea ha desarrollado Marcos Europeos de Interoperabilidad (MEI). El MEI más reciente data de 2017 y está en revisión. Con base en la experiencia de investigación de los autores y su participación en el propuestas para nuevos marcos de interoperabilidad, el objetivo de este artículo de reflexión es doble: 1) Proponer cambios a la definición de interoperabilidad y revisiones tanto a los niveles de interoperabilidad como a los principios fundamentales del MEI 2017 y 2) Proporcionar una visión general a académicos fuera de Europa sobre los avances en torno al MEI 2017. Una versión revisada de la definición de interoperabilidad, la inclusión de co-creación como un principio fundamental junto con la adición de un nivel de Interoperabilidad Cultural y un componente transversal de Habilidades y Competencias facilitarían una alineación con los marcos de interoperabilidad desarrollados recientemente. Estas recomendaciones podrían disminuir la fragmentación de los esfuerzos realizados por la Comisión Europea. Finalmente, al compartir estos últimos desarrollos sobre el MEI 2017, así como las propuestas, con una audiencia latinoamericana, los autores buscan apoyar el intercambio de experiencias entre Europa y América Latina.
