9. 9 How to simply create & distribute standards-related documentation? Not everything in a new standards release is relevant to my business. How can I easily analyse the impact of a standards release or updated market practice on ALL my systems across all departments? Information I need is scattered between base standards, market practices, MI specifications and bilateral agreements. It is not evident to move my community to new market practices or new standards. Market practice definitions require a lot of reading. The total cost for standards (maintenance and new solutions) is very high. Standards-related issues in your institution and your community Creating and discussing our market practices and comparing them to other ones is a lot of work.

10. MyStandards: New standards management tools for the community Manage your own standards implementation and practice Share this information with your correspondents Get updates automatically and focus on what is relevant to you Content is basis for interoperability services and harmonization 10

11. MyStandards: High level components 11 Collaboration environment Market practice editor On-line browsing Machine-readable formats Analytical tools Market practices Dedicated Documentation Base standards Leverage the community Make it easy to define practice / capabilities Simplify understanding
