The U.S. Federal Government should adopt a search service standard to enhance interoperability among networked systems that aid in the discovery of and access to government information. The adopted search service standard should be the ISO 23950 international standard, thereby providing a high degree of interoperability across many communities of practice and types of data and information holdings (see section 5, ISO 23950 Overview , below). This recommendation follows existing law and policies of the U.S. Federal Government, positioning the standard search service as a supplement to other search mechanisms as may be needed for reasons other than broad scale interoperability.
