EUROPEAN INTEROPERABILITY INITIATIVES

(ISA)

In the ISA context, interoperability means thefacilitation of cross-border and cross-sectorinformation exchange, taking into account legal,organisational, semantic and technical aspects.

What is Interoperability?

• European Interoperability Framework

• 3 dimensions :

– Organisational Interoperability

– Semantic Interoperability

– Technical Interoperability

IDABC EIF

• European public administrations provide more and more of their services online to businesses and citizens.

• The Single Market enables citizens and businesses to move, work, travel and study freely within the EU.

• This requires increased collaboration between European public administrations to settle the associated formalities.

The Trend

Efficient and effective electronic cross-border and cross-sector interaction between European public administrations.

– share and reuse existing successful eGovernmentsolutions

– Flexible and interlinked IT systems allow smooth implementation of Community policies and activities.

The Vision

• Providing an architectural framework for the seamless exchange of information between IT systems of Member States: – Development of guidelines and methodologies for cross-

border ICT solutions.

• Fostering development of generic tools and services which can be used by all public administrations.

• Industrialisation of existing infrastructure service components and tools for generalised reuse.

• Pooling of resources across the Member States through the coordination, exchange of experiences and good practices.

The contribution of the ISA program

KEY PRINCIPLES

STAKEHOLDERS

• Directly– National public administrations from Member States,

– Candidate Countries,– Countries of the European Economic Area,– Third countries (but their costs are not covered).

– Regional and local administrations– The services of the European Commission

• Indirectly– European businesses and citizens (profiting from a more

efficient delivery of public services).
