EIF Perspective attributes of ELIS

General information

Name of the solution: ELIS

Solution's owner: European Commission (DG informatics) - ISA² Programme

Description:

The EIRA Library of Interoperability Specifications is a library containing the standards and specifications defining the interoperability requirements of the architectural building blocks (ABBs) contained in the European Interoperability Reference Architecture (EIRA). The aim of this library is to support solutions architects when modeling using EIRA.
Type of solution: Common frameworks

The ELIS implements the following:

Principles

Interoperability layers

ELIS implements the following EIF recommendations as explained below:

  • Recommendation 1 | Subsidiarity and proportionality

    The library contains the specifications defining the interoperability requirements of the architectural building blocks (ABBs) contained in the European Interoperability Reference Architecture, which is designed in line with the EIF. Hence, it allows solution architects to select the most relevant specifications for interoperability solutions that are foreseen to be developed at the European or National level whilst ensuring compliance with the EIF. 

  • Recommendation 4 | Openness

    The library, in the spirit of EIRA, contains and encourages public officials to give preference to open specifications. 

  • Recommendation 6 | Reusability

    The library contains the specifications defining the interoperability requirements of the architectural building blocks (ABBs), which can be reused by public administrations. 

  • Recommendation 23 | Interoperability governance

    By using the EIRA library of interoperability specifications, public officials are essentially consulting a solution catalogue. 

  • Recommendation 33 | Technical interoperability

    The library contains (open) specifications, hence encouraging the use of open specifications at national, sub-national and local levels.
