The Cloud and AI Leadership Initiatives should also promote the development of
            technologies relying on open standards, open specifications and open source and foster
            the development of innovative, competitive and resilient cloud and AI technologies. It
            should foster the work on open standards and specifications and the creation of open-
            source software foundations supporting the design, development and maintenance of
            open-source components, in particular by providing governance and coordination
            mechanisms and facilitating the pooling of resources. The Cloud and AI Leadership
            Initiatives should also create a catalogue of software tools including open source in
            order to enable federation with existing catalogues for the private and public sectors
            and to develop a one-stop-shop for open-source resources in the Union.
