Information technology tools for sustainable development

There is still a need of standardisation of nomenclatures, interchange formats and languages in order to accelerate the communicability of information so it can be useful for any decision maker or for the public. But this standardisation or modelling process increase the errors in interpreting the reality, which can lean to unsustainable decisions. However, the growing velocity of communication exchanges and the power of recent information technologies will probably reduce the standardisation needs in time and allow a communication of less biased information, that is more accurate for a better decision making process.
