e-Government Interoperability in the Federal Government of Brazil

                    

@METIS Kick off meetingMarch, 2005

Interoperability Standards (e-Ping) providing a framework for systems under development (1st moment) and existing systems (2nd moment)

Interoperability basis

Interoperability Agenda specifying target services to be integrated (priority areas leading to key services). Based on both Committee decision and a survey involving citizens, business and Government

Hability to transfer and use information in an efficient and uniform way, throughout several organizations and information systems. (Australian Government)

Coherent interchange of information among services and systems. It must enable the substitution of any component or product used in the linking points by another one with similar specification, without hindering the system functions. (UK Government)

Hability held by two or more systems (computers, means of communication, nets and other IT components) of interacting and interchanging data according to a defined method, in a way the expected results can be obtained. (ISO)

What is INTEROPERABILITY?

An architecture that defines a minimum set of premisses, politics and technical specifications that rule the usage of ITC in the Federal Government, establishing the conditions of interaction with the other Powers of the State (Legislature and Judiciary), spheres of government (states and municipalities) and with society.

e – PING: Definition

Alignment with internet (all the systems) Adoption of XML (primary standard to data integration) Adoption of browsers The development and adoption of a Metadata Standard to

e-Government (open and international model) Development and maintenance of a List of Government

Themes (themes related to government action) Market support (costs and risks)

e – PING: Main Politics

Scalability (not a restrictive factor in the development of services) Transparency (site available to society) Preference to the adoption of open standards (proprietary are

temporary) Adhesion to the e-PING (gradual and compulsory) Focus in interoperability (interconectivity of systems, integraton of

data, acess to e-government services and management of content) Warranty of information privacy (by the units responsible for the

e-Gov services) Non-approached themes (it doesn´t standard their presentation)

Pilot Services (adhering to the e-PING) National System of Information Integration about Justice and Public Security – INFOSEG (SENASP/MJ):

Its usage is restricted to the organs belonging to the justice and public security area and its goal is to integrate every existing databank in the country that relates do the area.

Smart Card seal (ITI/PR): Homologation of systems and equipment of digital certification.

Communitarian radio stations/Geoprocessing (MC): It compounds the RadCom e SIGPPT systems; RadCom: workflow of permit to communitarian radio stations; SIGPPT: geographical information system (it allows the analysis of the location of communitarian radio stations).

Interoperability agenda

Implementation all over the Federal Government –Executive

Decrease in the general costs for the Federal Government

Finished

Technical Challenges

Construction:

Catalogue of common use data of Brazilian government:Share concepts, remove ambiguities and inconsistencies in the use of government data;

List of government themes (LAG): the focus of LAG is the citizen; frequent use is more important than academic accuracy; it preferes the common language;

Metadata standard for e-government (e-PMG): based upon the international model Dublin Core (ISO 15836);

Technical Challenges

Definition and management of the catalogue of XML schemes related to the thematic areas of government action;

Adoption all over the Federal Government – Executive;

Broadening of the initiative to other levels and spheres of government;

Next services to be integrated

Extrajudicial offices (ANOREG)

The main goal is the integration of all the existing extrajudicial offices in the country (18.000) using the precepts defined in the e-PING architecture;

Expected results: Cut down costs and improve the services offered to the citizens;

make the control easier and promote a more rational use of information;

facilitate the acquisiton of information by organs of every sphere of government (states and municipalities).

Next services to be integrated

Addressing standards (CPqD)

it seeks to define the set of information tht will be used to identify na address inside the country (definition of a standard);

great amount of government systems uses addressing;

usage of solutions based upon Geographic Information System (SIG);

Usage of precepts defined in the e-PING architecture;

Interoperability Agenda

Identifying the relationship chains between citizens and business along with Government

Mapping the supply and demand of interactions from citizens and business with the Government

Defining the multichannels of relationship between citizens and business along with Government

Interoperability Agenda

quantitative survey with citizens, business and organs of the government;

national sample to be applied in 10 Brazilian states and municipalities;

model of data analysis will focus based on a framework oriented to the identification of Obligations, Rights, Democratic Participation and Social Control; this model uses economic and social macroindicators criteria, besides life events of both citizes and business previously established

Interoperability Agenda

Establish a Portifolio of e-Gov Solutions that improve the supply of services, the social control and popular participation Consolidate a National e-Government Plan (for the 2004-2006 period)

Propose an Agenda of e-Government Interoperable Services for citizens, business and local government.
