  3. apply standard solutions in practice.
          

The pilot projects must implement one of the following five themes:

  1. Information: Experimental projects that have to do with new life cycle opportunities and the removal of obstacles related to opening, providing access to, refining or utilising information through linking data or opening data, for example.
  2. Services: Pilot projects that have to do with increasing customer value and streamlining processes in the sector's ecosystems with the help of new and existing digital services.
  3. Standardisation: Experimental projects that have to do with the life cycle opportunities offered by compatible standards, information models, lexicons, nomenclatures or task lists in the development of processes, methods, services and products, for example.
  4. Internet of Things (IoT): Innovative experimental projects that combine life cycle stages, devices, movement, information sources, virtual reality and service solutions, for example, in new ways.
  5. Operating model: Experimental projects that shake up life cycle operating models and seek new solutions and practices, using the means and principles of the digital age.
