ICH Methodology

Common Criteria

Evaluation Consistency Requires Common Criteria

The evaluation criteria used by the Interoperability Clearinghouse represent both the implicit and explicit development needs of multiple projects collected and refined over time. Most criteria were developed from research, interviews, and past experience. The resulting criteria are representative of the needs of the development community, and can be selected according to an individual situation's needs.

For example, one organization uses common criteria from the following categories:

• Basic capability - criteria relating to the code development environment
• Portability - criteria relating to platform support
• Database support - criteria relating to data base access
• Middleware support - criteria relating to distributed processing capabilities
• External issues - criteria relating to subjective aspects of tool utilizing
