Let's get in touch and discuss it together ! The Catalogue of Services Action offers its services to the public administrations of the European Member States. Depending on the level at which the administration operates (whether it is national, regional or local) the Catalogue of Services Action is able to provide a service adapted to the maturity level of the administration project. If you are active in digital, administrative simplification, database registries, eGov, data exchange/harmonisation, etc. do not hesitate to contact our team to discuss further possibilities.

Introduction to the Core Public Service Vocabulary Application Profile (CPSV-AP) If you are looking for a place to discover and become familiar with the Core Public Service Vocabulary Application Profile (CPSV-AP) this training is for you. In approximately three and a half hours, you will understand the main concepts behind e-government, why it is crucial to exchange public information between administrations and how this can be done via CPSV-AP and the development of a catalogue of services.

It is important to highlight that You will find below the different modules that make up the course but bear in mind that this latter is self-paced: you are therefore free to interrupt and resume your learning later as your progress will be saved. The training is available via this link.

General Information

Piloting activities have been undertaken in order to test and improve the tools developed by the Action. These tools form the basis for pilots in several Member States designed to show the benefits of using interoperable solutions in managing public service descriptions as well as the value of technology in facilitating their harmonisation. Setting up and executing pilots is imperative for demonstrating the benefits and value of these solutions in real-world contexts. In addition, by implementing them in a variety of countries and environments, we are able to demonstrate the reusability…
