The Main Challenge The main challenge is bridging the gap between technical and public sector
complexity, and users’ expectations of fully integrated services from what they view as a single coherent entity: ”THE GOVERNMENT”
The actual complexity The optimal solution Users expectation
Organization A- System 1- System 2- System n
Organization B- System 12- System 13- ..
Organization C- System 34- System 35- ..

Portal Objective: Establish an
objective picture of the Norwegian Parliament’s political processes and results
Strengthen the public’s understanding of the Norwegian Parliament’s role in society, its activities and its function
Target group: ”The man on the
street” i.e. everyone
Stortinget.no

Approx. 1000 matters/cases
are handled by
Stortinget every year
The main portal challenges:
• Users should be able to quickly find all publications and relevant pieces of information connected to a matter
• It should be simple and easy for users to track the handling of a matter by the Parliament
• The information should be organised for, and accessible to, all user groups
Stortinget.no
![Page 9: Semantic Interoperability: The State of the Nation Robert Keil Topic Maps 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b657f8b9ab0599b001a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Stortinget.noChallenge:
• Users should be able to quickly find all publications and relevant pieces of information connected to a matter
Solution:
• A combination of a comprehensive search and Topic Mapped navigation with grouping and filtering mechanism help users find all relevant matters
![Page 10: Semantic Interoperability: The State of the Nation Robert Keil Topic Maps 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b657f8b9ab0599b001a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Stortinget.noChallenge:
• It should be simple and easy for users to track the handling of a matter by the Parliament
• The information should be organised for, and accessible to, all user groups
Solution:
• The status of a matter is presented in a graphical way. Hyperlinks to all relevant documents are shown for each phase of the process.

One coherent entity? A simple case: A formal question from one of the members of the
Parliament is raised to the Government. After a while the Government answers the question, and both Regjeringen.no and Stortinget.no have to manually publish the whole process, included every document attached to the matter
A better solution would be that Stortinget.no publish the question, Regjeringen.no publish the answer, and both portals shows the whole process automatically

Altinn.no
![Page 13: Semantic Interoperability: The State of the Nation Robert Keil Topic Maps 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b657f8b9ab0599b001a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Altinn Altinn is a common
Internet portal for public reporting.
Several hundreds of forms and services from 20 Norwegian government agencies are currently available through Altinn (and more to come).
The information part of Altinn is based on Topic Maps.
![Page 14: Semantic Interoperability: The State of the Nation Robert Keil Topic Maps 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b657f8b9ab0599b001a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Altinn Forms and services in
Altinn can be found by searching or navigation (either alphabetically, by number or based by the Topic Map).
![Page 15: Semantic Interoperability: The State of the Nation Robert Keil Topic Maps 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b657f8b9ab0599b001a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Altinn The Topic Map gives
related information regarding each form and service automatically , e.g. owner, rules and regulations, related topics, related Forms etc.

Altinn – Mandatory Forms Different companies
may have to deliver different forms – depending on the type of business
Mandatory forms are listed in The National Register of the Reporting Obligations of Enterprises –With a given organization number you can get a list of mandatory forms based on the type of business
![Page 18: Semantic Interoperability: The State of the Nation Robert Keil Topic Maps 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b657f8b9ab0599b001a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Altinn – List of Mandatory Forms One challenge with the list of mandatory forms is that some forms are not
periodically. However, they may become mandatory for a given type of business if a specific incident occur, e.g. workers accidents, a blow out etc.
By combining Statistics Norway’s NACE register (Standard Industrial Classification - SIC2002), The National Register of the Reporting Obligations of Enterprises and The Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities with the topic map and the logon information in Altinn, it is possible to give a more accurate list of mandatory forms to the end user.

StatusAccording to Petter Thorsrud, a few minutes ago:
“Before systems can exchange data, the people behind the systems need to exchange information”
Even though there is no clear or formal policy from the Government regarding semantic interoperability (and even less on using Topic Maps) in common internet portals, there are many initiatives under way
People in the public sector do communicate and share information and knowledge
IT consultancy firms are also involved in, and contributing to, ”semantic interoperability” as a concept.

Conclusion
![Page 22: Semantic Interoperability: The State of the Nation Robert Keil Topic Maps 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b657f8b9ab0599b001a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Conclusion
The examples we have seen so far are just the beginning. Several public sector portals are actively working on projects related to semantic interoperability. Shortly, many of them will have fully functional solutions in place
Semantic interoperability is not just yet another ”hype”
We are past the ”Tipping Point”!
