Summary |
| Integrated Public Service Provision - The central solutions of Hungary |
Hungary stands out with regard to its implementation of the security and privacy component of the EIF conceptual model. While different elements have made possible the implementation of the recommendations set by the EIF with regards to the legal, organisational, semantic and technical layers of interoperability within Hungarian public administrations, two main initiatives are highlighted in this concrete example. These are the centrally provided Municipality ASP service and the Customisable State Administration Portal. They almost function as platforms for interoperable service provision. Both integrate several building blocks in order to ensure a ready-to-use integrated solution for all Hungarian public administrations to make their digital public services available on a single platform, therefore increasing interoperability. This concrete example also demonstrates how the country tackled the challenged linked to these services, which are their take-up by public bodies and the need to replace the traditional decision-making process with a data-driven approach. |

Location Framework Blueprint
|
The European Union Location Framework (EULF) Blueprint is a framework of recommendations and related guidance for publishing and using location information and applying interoperability principles in digital government. The EULF Blueprint was initially developed through the EULF project in the ISA programme. The content has been updated extensively through the European Location Interoperability Solutions for e-Government (ELISE) project, which is part of the ISA2 programme. | Recommendation 36 |
|
The SERV project aims at creating the conditions for sharing statistical services and supporting their integration in statistical production processes at national, ESS and Commission level. It implements governance structure to enable sharing of services (e.g. service certification procedures), to choose at ESS level on how to make a service available, contributes to standardising the description of business needs by implementing the CSPA standard from UNECE ModernStats initiaitive. |
Recommendation 36 |
|
The Interoperability Test Bed is a service offered by the European Commission’s DIGIT to facilitate the conformance testing of IT systems. The Test Bed is itself a software system that can be both downloaded and installed locally, but also reused through a shared online installation operated by DIGIT. It offers an intuitive web user interface that allows administrators to define their project’s overall testing setup as well as users to connect and run tests. | Recommendation 36 |

The “ESS Enterprise Architecture Reference Framework”, abbreviated ESS EARF denotes a set of documents containing a number of key artefacts, which can be used at various stages in projects as well as in the overall governance of the realisation of Vision 2020. The ESS EARF is the result of the collective and iterative work of the DIME/ITDG Task Force on ESS EA which ran from April 2014 till August 2015. | Recommendation 36 |
