The '''Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile''' ('''GOSIP''') was a specification that profiled open networking products for procurement by governments in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

==Timeline==
* 1988 - GOSIP: Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile<ref>{{cite book | title= GOSIP: Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile | date= 31 December 1988| publisher= Stationery Office Books | location= London | isbn= 978-0113305186}}</ref> published by [[Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency|CCTA]], an agency of UK government
* 1988 - UK's CCTA commences work with France and West Germany on European Procurement Handbook (EPHOS)<ref>{{cite journal | title= UK CCTA Takes Lead In Push For Common Open Systems Procurement | publisher=Computer Business Review | date =1988-11-10 }}</ref>
* 1990 - The US specification requiring [[Open Systems Interconnection]] (OSI) protocols was first published as [[Federal Information Processing Standards]] document FIPS 146-1. The requirement for US Government vendors to demonstrate their support for this profile led them to join the formal [[interoperability testing|interoperability]] and [[conformance testing]] for networking products, which had been done by industry professionals at the annual InterOp show since 1980.
* 1990 - Publication of European Procurement Handbook (EPHOS), intended to be a European GOSIP<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Caffrey | first1 = L. | title = EPHOS: Towards a European GOSIP | doi = 10.1016/0169-7552(90)90083-5 | journal = Computer Networks and ISDN Systems | volume = 19 | issue = 3–5 | pages = 265–284 | year = 1990 }}</ref>
* 1991 - 4th and final version of UK GOSIP released<ref>{{cite book | title= GOSIP 4 : UK Government OSI Profile | date= 1991 | publisher= CCTA, the Government Centre for Information Systems | location= London | isbn= 0113305672}}</ref>
* 1993 - Australia and New Zealand GOSIP Version 3 - 1993 Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile<ref>[http://www.standards.govt.nz/web-shop/?action=viewSearchProduct&mod=catalog&pid=55.4%3A1993%28SAA%7CSNZ+HB%29&searchId=1162982&searchOrderingIndex=1&searchSessionId=ACC3F050EF7DEDCA6C19B718C835F2B6 "ANZ GOSIP Version 3 - 1993"], standards.govt.nz</ref>
* 1995 - FIPS 146-2 allowed "...other specifications based on open, voluntary standards such as those cited in paragraph 3 ("...such as those developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)... and the International Telecommunications Union, Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU–T))"<ref>[http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/FR-1995-05-15/95-11917 "60 FR 25888 - APPROVAL OF FEDERAL INFORMATION PROCESSING STANDARDS PUBLICATIONS (FIPS) 146-2, PROFILES FOR OPEN SYSTEMS INTERNETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES, AND 179-1, GOVERNMENT NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROFILE"], gpo.gov</ref>

In practice, from 1995 interest in OSI implementations declined, and worldwide the deployment of standards-based networking services since have been predominantly based on the [[Internet protocol suite]].<ref>{{Cite news |title= OSI: The Internet That Wasn't |work= Spectrum |publisher= IEEE |author= Andrew L. Russell |date= 29 July 2013 |url= https://spectrum.ieee.org/osi-the-internet-that-wasnt |access-date= 30 July 2013 }}</ref> However, the [[Defense Messaging System]] continued to be based on the OSI protocols [[X.400]] and [[X.500]], due to their integrated security capabilities.
