The purpose of this report is to propose a template for a factsheet that would facilitate the assessment of solutions' reusability by providing useful and detailed information that should be considered when evaluating reusing a solution in a specific context. This factsheet should be considered as complementary to the solution’s documentation available on Joinup’s catalogue of interoperability solutions as well as on the EU Cartography. It is important to note that this factsheet focuses on reusability of technical solutions both as a software component and as a service. Future work envisages the extension of the scope towards semantic, organisational and legal solutions.
This report is comprised of the following parts:
- Prerequisites that should be taken into account by solution owners, when filling in the template of the reusability factsheet, and by solution architects or portfolio managers when reading the reusability factsheet;
- Identified use cases of the proposed reusability factsheet;
- The most important aspects that should be considered when evaluating reusing a solution included in the reusability factsheet;
- A guide on how to use the information contained in the reusability factsheet for evaluating the overall feasibility and impact of reusing a documented solution;
- A mock-up of the reusability factsheet; and
- Two examples of the reusability factsheet applied to operational solutions (Annex A Reusability factsheet for e-TrustEx, Annex B Reusability factsheet for CIPA e-Delivery).
