In our efforts to bring the CAMSS action to a wider audiences, we have crafted an introductory eLearning course hosted by the Interoperable Europe Academy. The course, targeted to IT professionals in public administrations, eGovernment and public sector Project Managers, or professionals involved in developing, implementing, or managing eGovernment solutions, among other professional profiles. 

The course introduces the Common Assessment Method for Standards and Specifications (CAMSS), an action for assessing standards and specifications and helping its inclusion within eGovernment projects. It is divided in several sections, starting with an introduction to what CAMSS is and why it is key to achieve interoperability in the field of ICT. This is followed by a deep dive into the CAMSS core elements: Solutions and Assets. Finally, you will discover how CAMSS supports the Interoperable Europe Act.

On the 4th of December 2024, the European Commission (DG DIGIT) and the CAMSS Team held a webinar in which they presented the CAMSS Incompatibility Scenario, a solution to assess the possible incompatibility of a specification when integrated in an existing digital public environment, thus affecting its interoperability with other systems.

During the session, several topics were discussed:

• Introduction to the context: CAMSS and EIRA©
• Introduction to the CAMSS Incompatibility Scenario: definition, features, and benefits
• Demo of a use case
• Call to action to a CAMSS Incompatibility Assessment pilot, more information here

On the 27th of March 2025, the European Commission (DG DIGIT) and the CAMSS Team held a webinar in which they presented the CAMSS Vocabularies: the Core Assessment Vocabulary (CAV) and the Core Standards and Specifications Vocabulary (CSSV).

During the session, several topics were discussed:

• Introducing the context: CAMSS, EIRA© and ELIS
• Introducing CAV and CSSV: definition, features, and practical overview
• Presenting the synergies between the CAMSS Vocabularies and other Solutions (ELIS), with a practical use case
• Sharing the potential of CAMSS Vocabularies in the context of Interoperability (IEA, Interoperability Assessments)
