This group serves as a central place for the development, maintenance and maintenance of IT architecture guidelines in the public administration. The National IT Architecture Directive is currently being maintained and developed as a framework and its derivatives in the Federal Government, Länder and municipalities.

In this group, you can find, as a master document, the National IT Architecture Directive, which in this case has already produced two discharges, one from the Federal Government and from the Federal IT Architecture Directive. We are entering the so-called repository of the National Architecture Directive.

Here, the actual document is available in opencode and structured in subfolders and described in the Markdown syntax. Opencode allows participatory collaboration. And in a very orderly and structured process.

Another significant advantage is that an accessible PDF (PDF/UA) is generated automatically from these documents, which are reduced to the content of the document folder [document] (https://gitlab.opencode.de/it-architekturrichtlinien/nationale-it-archi…), like a web view.

You can also look at the final results quickly and persuade yourself:

— [PDF/UA](https://gitlab.opencode.de/it-architekturrichtlinien/nationale-it-archi…)
— [website](https://nationale-it-architekturrichtlinie.gov.de/)

The two results are not only generated automatically, but are designed using predefined templates and formatted professionally accessible (PDF/UA) – that is without commercial licensing costs or the use of third party software.

If we look at the web page generated automatically from GitLab and OpenCode, users experience a user-friendly and non-barried website. It has an integrated search with a proposal function and a clear menu bar that makes it easy to navigate the focus of the document and get a quick overview.
