Description

The Core Business Vocabulary is a simplified, reusable and extensible data model that captures the fundamental characteristics of a legal entity, e.g. the legal name, the activity, address, ...

Core Vocabularies Working Group

The Core Business Vocabulary is one of the three Core Vocabularies that have been developed in the context of Action 1.1 of the ISA Programme. The current draft release (version 0.2) was developed from November 2011 till January 2012 by a multi disciplinary Working Group, with a total of 67 people from 21 countries, 18 EU and 3 non-EU countries (USA, South-Africa and Croatia), and several EU Institutions.

Public review

On 17 February 2012 a month-long public review will start for the current draft release (version 0.2). Comments can be posted in the forum topic that is therefore provided. All comments will be discussed by the Working Group in March 2012. This will lead to a final version of the specification that will be submitted to the European Commission for endorsement by the EU member states.

Motivation

E-Government Core Vocabularies are the starting point for developing interoperable e-Government systems as it allows mappings with existing data models. This guarantees Public Administrations to attain cross-border and cross-sector interoperability.  Please refer to the eGovernment Core Vocabularies paper on the approach and benefits of Core Concepts for further background.
