Reference Implementations
Working examples that show how C2 Platform patterns fit together in practice.
Open, unless
Prefer open-source reuse and collaboration unless legal or security constraints require otherwise.
Categories:
C2 Platform starts from openness. Reuse of code, patterns, documentation, and working examples should be the default across Dutch government organizations. A closed alternative must be motivated by security, privacy, legal, or contractual constraints.
This principle matters because it lowers delivery costs, reduces vendor lock-in, and makes collaboration between government organizations and ICT suppliers easier. It also supports the reuse of reference implementation examples, Ansible content, and shared documentation.
