In a Nutshell The business context
EU IST FP6 project R4eGov – www.r4egov.eu Collaboration among 27 EU member states governments
The main issues On-demand Interoperability Privacy, Security and Trust
The technology context SOA and Web 2.0 based solutions… Web Services, Grid & Rich Internet Applications…
Proposed approach Lightweight standards-based interoperability framework
with emphasis on basic enforceable security

The Business Context
EU IST FP6 project R4eGov – www.r4egov.eu Government agencies of the 27 EU Member
States need to be able to e-collaborate The agencies are very independent,
autonomous and protective of their data Growing number of regulations are in effect The equilibrium between individual interests
and common goals needs to be found and procedures put in place accordingly
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA
R4eGov Challenges
Towards “e-Admininstration in the large“ The challenge is to facilitate the swift and
secure exchange of information among public administrations wherever they happen to be and wherever citizens wish to access them
This requires some tools to enable the agencies and public service professionals to “talk to each other” in compliance with the law, securely and meet data protection rules

A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA
Citizen-centricity : how to measure success of R4eGov?
No citizen left behind, if no professional left behind
Helping shape and train tomorrow’s competent authorities with a European skillset
Evaluating what their real needs are Alliance of:
technical tools new skills leadership, change management awareness of tomorrow’s needs today
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA
From project vision to project results to European vision
The results accelerate the realisation of the vision
Provided they are communicated to key stakeholders who trial, adapt, and implement
As part of a journey which goes beyond i2010 To the i2015 vision and i2020 vision led by
France and Sweden respectively
i2010 is the EU policy framework for the information society and media. It promotes the positive contribution that information and communication technologies (ICT) can make to the economy, society and personal quality of life.
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA
So that tomorrow…
The national court of justice in country A The consular office in country B The local health authority in country C The national fraud office in country D The university in city E
have ICT tools providing usable security for cross-border transactions for the mobile EU citizen
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA9
Example: The Hague Programme Vision
The Principle of Availability
Throughout the Union, a law enforcement officer in one Member State who needs information in order to perform his duties can obtain this from another Member State and
The law enforcement agency in the other Member State which holds this information will make it available for the stated purpose
The Hague programme is a five-year programme for closer co-operation in justice and home affairs at EU level from 2005 to 2010
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA10
Example: Europol-Eurojust Case Study
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA11
Interoperability Challenges & Solutions The goal: to create value-added knowledge The context and challenges:
A number of agencies A number of countries A number (large) of processes A number (huge) of data types and formats A number (vast) of messages to exchange A number of other important issues…
A solution: SOA approach, naturally Event-based infrastructure for integration Web services and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA12
Collaboration Pattern Variations
Rigid workflows to automate repeatable procedures, eliminate unnecessary human work and mistakes
Ad-hoc creative information manipulation, collective knowledge creation – towards Enterprise (Government) Social Computing
Collecting, Publishing, Tagging – towards Enterprise (Government) Mash-ups
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA13
The Technical Context Proliferation of Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA) solutions Data as (composite) services Data services aggregated from different sources
on-demand (mash-ups) Social factors of ICT usage
Data is easier to obtain and harder to protect Technical innovations come (and go) fast People use the ICT tools less responsibly, as toys
Collaborative interactions occur in this context

The Basic Solution
The above solution is reasonable and can, with some effort, be put into place
Not so much innovation The R4eGov project bacically met the bacic
objectives It is a research project, supposed to look into
tomorrow and, with some luck beyond So…

Beyond Tomorrow
The Public has security and trust in ICT-enabled cross-border transactions by the public sector, especially for “life events”
The Professionals have the skills, confidence and foresight to deliver these services
The Project has left results which endure, long after the project is forgotten
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA
Some BHAGs
Google: Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal. Boeing: Bet the pot on the B-17, 707 and 747. IBM: Commit to a $5 billion gamble on the 360;
meet the emerging need of our customers. Ford: "Democratize the automobile”. Sony: Change the worldwide image of
Japanese products as poor quality; create a pocketable transistor radio.
R4eGov: Well informed & served citizen is a happier citizen. Let’s make them happier.

Let’s have it Mashed-up!

A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA
Enterprise/Government Mash-ups Some say it’s just a toy…
And it’s insecure And it’s chaos And it’s not gonna work And it’s against the law
Others say (and do) some other things Serious agencies (e.g. US DoD) starts using Web 2.0 Industry (big names such as IBM) starts embracing it Open source starts supporting it
“The ideal mashup developer is no developer at all.“ Bob Gurley, Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco

Public Usage Example
21
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA
Example: From Government to Public CrimeReports.com is provided by company
called Public Engines. Public Engines provides Web-based Software
as a Service (SaaS) products to help government agencies manage and control the sharing of data directly with local communities
Public Engines provides a simple, affordable, effective solution for communicating directly with community members within minutes via the Internet and email

Some Interoperability Requirements
For the above to happen we need:
Standards-based (IETF, W3C, OASIS) Simple & Lightweight – not only for rocket scientists Flexible – usable in great variety of environments Easily configurable (no need for 50 in-house
developers)
A. Svirskas, A. Robinson, J. Isačenkova, OASIS eGov Workshop, May 1st 2008, Santa Clara, USA
Standardisation Objectives
R4eGov is committed to the adoption of open standards, and intends to build upon and/or extend interoperability specifications where possible ensure that R4eGov framework uses relevant standards and
interoperability guidelines ensure that R4eGov results contribute to the future
developments of standards in relevant areas Why standardisation matters:
way to promote and achieve interoperability between technologies across different organizations and vendors
interoperability is a key requirement in today’s multi-vendor market (need balance between agreed functionality, competitive advantage, and need for interoperability)
standardisation is an important part of successful exploitation
