Data for Public Service (TO-BE) Principles for the Danish Basic Data Program: Data should be collected only once and kept where it can be maintained most effectively It should be possible to combine information from different sources across Authorities in Denmark and share it with many users and applications Information needed for good administration at all levels should be readily and transparently available Easy to find what information is available, how it can be used to meet a particular need, and under which conditions it can be acquired and used Standardisation as a Vehicle Towards egovernment PAGE 10
Harmonisation activities and tools Models INSPIRE/ISO-TC211 models Common rules for modelling basic data Tools Enterprise Architect (widely used modelling tool) Common Data Distributor GeoNetwork (Open Source metadata catalogue) Standardisation as a Vehicle Towards egovernment PAGE 11
Conclusions (1) Standardisation Successful implementation will depend on Lots of more harmonisation in terms of Concepts (ontologies) Models (distribution) Tools (automatisation of documentation and application schemas) Use of concepts of geo-standards into mainstream IT / ICT As driver for interoperability Generalised methods from geo-standards adequate for mainstream IT Standardisation as a Vehicle Towards egovernment PAGE 12
Conclusions (2) Governance Successful implementation will depend on GOVERNANCE in terms of Sew and harvest issues (financing, calculating business cases) Responsibility when it comes to mis-administration Innovation of new public services (e.g. smartphone) Dealing with organisational issues (proactively) Addressing the human and democratic issues Technology choices and harmonised public administrative procedures Standardisation as a Vehicle Towards egovernment PAGE 13
