1.3. Technical Services

6. The "Technical Services" include those services required to enable "User Applications". They are part of the "Back-End Capabilities" while "User Applications" are part of "User-Facing Capabilities".

7. According to the C3 Taxonomy, they consist of "Community Of Interest (COI) Services", "Core Services" and "Communications Services". The complete collection of Technical Services is sometimes referred to as the "Technical Services Framework" (TSF) or "NNEC Services Framework" (NSF).

8. In addition to the "Technical Services" identified in the C3 Taxonomy, a taxonomy layer “Cloud Computing” has been added. This enables a more useful categorization of cloud-based standards (currently only included as candidate standards).
