Case Studies

Interoperability. Help several public organizations to perform electronic exchange of documents, as opposed to paper-based exchange. ▪ This talk’s scope.

Case Studies

Public Procurement – Auction! Public organizations buying goods where sellers bid to offer lowest price. ▪ All in digital format. ▪ Several MM€ bought through our platforms.

Business Problem statement Why did we do this?

Business Problem statement

Paper-Based Exchange of information ▪ Citizens and companies to gather all documents from the

different public organizations (or even the same). ▪ Public administrations to validate documentation and perform

administrative business processes. ▪ Hundreds of thousands of paper documents for small to

medium-size organizations. ▪ Public organizations are increasingly becoming digital.

Business Problem statement

Interoperability in digital format – Use Case ▪ A citizen needs to perform a process with a Public Sector

Organization (PS1). ▪ A document from a Third Party is required. ▪ Citizen agrees that interoperability can be used. ▪ PSO1 to request document to PSO2 on his/her behalf. ▪ Exchange happens in digital format. ▪ Data can now be used digitally – supports and fosters digital

governments.

Business Problem statement

Great (business?) benefits for all parties ▪ Citizens, private organizations, NGOs ▪ Public Organizations

Applies also for departamental interoperability.

Business Problem statement

Some elements in EU’s approach to interoperability ▪ The IDABC Programme (Interoperable Delivery of European

eGovernment Services to public Administrations, Business and Citizens). 2005-2009. ▪  ISA (Interoperability Solutions for European Public

Administrations), 2010-2015. ▪ European Interoperability Framework (EIF). Three dimensions

▪ Semantic ▪ Organizational ▪ Technical

Business Problem statement

Some elements in EU’s approach to interoperability EU countries creating national interoperability frameworks to perform interoperability by digital means. ▪ Cross-country interoperability networks ▪ National-wide networks (Spain’s SARA) ▪ Public organizations plug-in into the networks and offer & use

services.

Business Problem statement

Semantic Dimension Ability of two systems to understand each other when defined by different organizations. ▪ Different sources, regulatory, mental models. ▪ Share data with unambiguous meaning. Avoid diverging

interpretations of data. ▪ Doesn’t handle representation, but makes sure meaning travels

with information. ▪ Usually involves handling metadata. ▪ Very (very) hard problem at an internet size – W3C semantic web. ▪  ISA joinup (osor.eu + semic.eu)

Business Problem statement

Organizational Dimension Ability of Organizations and process to interoperate within their actuation scope. ▪ Legal dimension. What are the legal consequences of the data exchange? ▪ Entitlement. ▪ Agreements among PO.

Business Problem statement

Technical Dimension ▪ A set of agreed upon norms and standards. ▪ Shared Schemas ▪ Web service invocation. ▪ Security: A&A. Non repudiation, integrity, etc. Credentials

management. ▪ QoS ▪ Custody of records and audit ▪ Etc.

WSO2 portfolio WSO2 provides an excellent product portfolio to address these situations. The basic pieces here being: ▪ WSO2 ESB ▪ WSO2 Governance Registry

Powered by WSO2

ALL is SOA patterns All integration scenarios handled by SOA patterns and infrastructure. ▪ WSO2 ESB runs integration sequences. ▪ WSO2 Governance Registry to perform resource management (i.e. WSDL).

Powered by WSO2

Basic integration sequence ▪ Authenticate client ▪ Sign request ▪ invoke ▪ Authenticate & validate response ▪ Log & Custody ▪ Generate reply ▪ Error handling

Integration Sequence Exchange sequence is parameterized in the ESB using Registry Elements

Integration Sequence Store all exchanged data with 0 lines of coding.

Greater Visibility See what happens in your network
