Wikimedia advocates for interoperability and the DMA

Wikimedia's commitment to an open Internet in 2026

At a time when the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) are mobilizing the work of the European Parliament, Wikimedia reiterates the need for interoperability between large-cap platforms and the virtues of an open Internet. This opinion piece, originally published on March 28, 2022, remains relevant in 2025 in light of current challenges.

What is platform interoperability?

Direct answer: Interoperability enables communication between different social networks and digital platforms.

Key points of interoperability:

- Ability to communicate across social networks,

- Communication between people with accounts on different networks,

- Some platforms only allow it within their own ecosystem.

Wikipedia: a model of digital openness

Wikipedia, managed by Wikimedia, perfectly illustrates what we should expect from an open Internet. Wikipedia's API allows companies and individuals to retrieve large amounts of content for commercial or non-commercial purposes.

Wikimedia's vision for 2026

We believe that the world is better off when knowledge is freely accessible. Our content, which is open and free, must be accessible everywhere. Internet giants prioritize protecting their business models and closing their systems. This behavior hinders the dissemination of knowledge and interconnection between services.

Docloop: interoperability applied to business uses

In the professional world, interoperability is not a theoretical principle: it is a direct operational lever for productivity and scalability. This is precisely where Docloop comes in. Designed as an API-first solution, Docloop integrates seamlessly into existing software ecosystems without imposing any technological or organizational disruption. This approach allows business users and software publishers to natively integrate Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) capabilities via Docloop's APIs. At Jaubert Douanes International, Docloop is connected to AKANEA solutions to extract and structure data from customs documents directly into existing workflows. Similarly, Docloop is integrated into EUREKA software to simplify document processing and enrich business uses without complicating existing systems. These examples illustrate a vision that is fully aligned with that championed by Wikimedia: open, interconnectable systems where value is created by the circulation of data rather than its confinement. In a regulatory context driven by the DMA, interoperability thus becomes a key factor in trust, compliance, and competitiveness.
