One of the main tasks of the TOOP project is to ensure the take-up of TOOP results and achieve their long-term sustainability. The members of TOOP set during the final phase of the project a special focus on these sustainability aspects. To fulfil the requirements and based on best practice experiences of previous large scale project the specific organisation ONCE-ONLY.ORG was established. ONCE-ONLY.ORG is an international non-profit association under Belgium law (AISBL) and implemented as part of the sustainability strategy for the TOOP project. The General Assembly has endorsed ONCE-ONLY.ORG AISBL as the organisation for sustainability of technical artefacts produced as result of the TOOP project.
The purpose of the organisation is to facilitate and promote international cooperation of public and private stakeholders aiming to advance and enhance the once-only principle and other underlying principles for e-Governance and the interoperability solutions and practices that support them. Furthermore, its activities under the statutes may include actions that aim to ensure the sustainability of state-of-the-art solutions, specifications, technological building blocks and services, as well as related governance schemes and frameworks.
