5. Why interoperability
It is a precondition in the service of the development of
eGovernment. It is important:
To make a reality principles and rights of the citizens.
To enable more easier cooperation in the development and
delivery of eGovernment services.
To enable better efficiency; reduction of time and
costs in the development and delivery of eGovernment services.
Digital Agenda for Europe
6. The way to achieve results …
Three keys to success:
(1) Legal framework
7. The Legal framework is an important aspect of eGov readiness.
It provides legal certainty to eGov.
Spain has a sound and comprehensive legal framework for eGov,
oriented to implement the legal safeguards that exist in the real world to the virtual world.
The eGov Law 11/2007 regulates:
– (i) Principles and rights: citizens’ right to interact with Public Administration by
electronic means -> obligation to P.A.s to enable electronic access to their services.
– (ii) Basic aspects of IT use in eGov: e-site, e-registries, e-identification, e-
communications, e-notifications, electronic administrative procedure, e-documents, e-file, e-archive
– (iii) Cooperation of Public Administrations to facilitate access to
services.
Security and Interoperability in the service of the right of the citizens to interact with P.A.s by
electronic means.
P.A.s shall adopt measures to ensure interoperability.
Article 42 creates the National Interoperability Framework, regulated by Royal Decree
4/2010.
Legal framework for eGov
8. The Spanish NIF is a legal text
Royal Decree 4/2010 implements the NIF
Objective: to provide criteria to build and improve interoperability;
clear and direct statements.
Scope: To be followed by all Public administrations in their relations
between them and with citizens.
Implementation effort ongoing: deadline 30.01.2014
Developed with the participation of all Public Administrations (General State,
Regional, Local, Justice, Universities, + input from Industry).

National Interoperability
Framework
9. Set the criteria to be followed by public administrations to ensure
interoperability and to create adequate conditions for the
deployment and use of eGov Services.
Introduce common elements of interoperability to
guide Public Administrations:
Facilitate interaction
Communicate interoperability requirements to Industry.
Facilitate the implementation of security policies
[National Security Framework, Royal Decree 3/2010]
National Interoperability Framework
Objectives
10. Integral, multidimensional and
multilateral approach.
Takes into account dimensions:
Organisational, Semantic, Technical
Use of standards.
Use of common infrastrutures
and services for multilateral
interactions.
Reuse of applications and other
information objects.
e-Signature and certificates.
e-Document: recovery and
preservation.
+ Interoperability Agreements
& Interoperability Tools.

National Interoperability Framework
Main elements
11. What to do to improve
Interoperability
Organisational
– Inventory of administrative objects (administrative units, services, procedures, etc)
– Services to be consumed by other P.A.s: conditions clear and published,
available through the administrative network (Red SARA).
– Interoperability nodes, intermediation services, and connection of input/output
registries.
Semantic
– Compile, publish and use horizontal and sectorial common data models.
Technical
– Use of standards, as foreseen in Legal framework
– Criteria for the selection of standards: (EU) D.98/34/C, national (Law 11/2007),
+ additional criteria (inspired in CAMSS).
– Catalogue of standards and rules of maintenance
– “Public Administration bodies shall use open standards and, as appropriate and in
complement, standards which are of general use among the public.”
Common infrastrutures and services (CI & S).
– Link with CI & S provided by General State Administration.
– Communication Network of the Spanish PAs -> through Red SARA
– IP Addressing Plan of the Administration
12. Reuse, (applications, associated documentation and other information objects).
Licensing conditions that facilitate share, reuse and collaborate.
Linking of repositories, take into account solutions available in
repositories, publish source code.
Electronic signature and certificates
The General State adm. will define an eSignature and certificates
policy; which will be a reference to other P.A.s
P.A.s will have their own eSignature and certificates policy.
Recovery and preservation of electronic document
Adoption of organizative and technical measures to ensure recovery
and preservation of electronic documents.
Creation of electronic repositories complementary and equivalent to
conventional archives
What to do to improve
Interoperability
13. Interoperability Agreements develop specific technical aspects of the NIF:
Catalogue of standards
Electronic document
Digitization of documents
Electronic File
Electronic signature and certificates policy
Data intermediation (brokering)
Common data models.
Management of electronic documens policy
Requirements for the connection to the administrative network of the Spanish P.A.s
Procedures for authentic copies and conversion of electronic documents
Data model for the exchange of information between input/output registries
Reuse of public sector information

14. The way to achieve results …
Three keys to success:
(2) Common infrastructures and
services
15. Common services
An ecosystem of common infrastructures and services is available,
including services in cloud and with legal support.
Built to support the eGov services as defined in our legal framework.
They are enablers of the massive and full-implementation of e-services.
They contribute to security through simplification of the scenario.
(Non exhaustive)
16. Common services
Communications platform
All P.A.s connected (central, regional and over 3.700 Local entities connected).
Connected to sTESTA: access to EU services.
The first stage of the IPv6 transition in P.A.s.
SARA Cloud → applications as services.
National eID (DNIe), National Identity Card.
97% of the Spanish e-records include the number of the DNI as primary citizen
identifier.
Over 28,5 million Spanish citizens hold a DNIe card.
Two digital certificates inside the chip (Authentication, qualified eSignature).
@Firma: Services & tools for validation of eSignature & certificates.
Interoperability of eSignatures and certificates: > 100 types of certificates of >15
providers (national and intl.) used by > 500 entities of P.A.s.
Available to all Public Administrations.
Intermediation platform: allows P.A.s to verify on-line citizen data.
Avoid that citizens have to provide information already available in the Administration.
Uses Red SARA and @Firma.
17. Common services
‘060 Network’ provides a multi-channel key entry point to services.
Three channels: local offices, ‘060.es’ web portal, telephone hotline number ‘060’.
Contact points for entrepreneurs incorporated in the ‘060’ network of integrated offices.
Service Directive Point of Single Contact EUGO.ES.
This website is the Point of Single Contact of the Services Directive in Spain.
eNotifications allows citizens and business to receive free online
administrative notifications and correspondence in the Electronic Administrative
Address. eGovernment Law, article 28. 2.27 M eNotifications sent in 2011.
The Ministry of Finance and Public Administrations owns the service and its provider is
the state-owned public company Sociedad Estatal Correos y Telégrafos.
'eGovernment pack': Provides basic elements for implementation of eGov
services to administrative units. It includes 4 building blocks:
ORVE: Virtual register for Local Entities
ACCEDA: Register for e-channel applications, includes CMS for a basic website
PORTAFIRMAS: Corporative eSignature application.
INSIDE: eFile
– + PORTAL FOR LOCAL ENTITIES.
Reuse of public sector information
Legal framework (Law 37/2007, Royal Decree 1495/2011)
datos.gob.es: national portal that organizes and manages the Catalogue of Public In-
formation, the single point of access to data sets of the General State Administration.
eDelivery–eNotifications
18. Building blocks
An example on the basis of the Data Intermediation Platform
22,6 Million transactions in 2012 and growing significantly.
19. The way to achieve results …
Three keys to success:
(3) Cooperation
20. *> 200 experts
With different profiles
(IT, legal, archives, ...)
Universities (CRUE)Justice (EJIS)+
Cooperation
22. Early alignment with EU interoperability
strategies, policies, actions, instruments
European Interoperability Strategy
European Interoperability Framework
Contribution and feedback.
(Re)Use of policies, results and products.
The NIF foresees the linking of services to
equivalent ones in the EU:
Participation in services and projects:
Sectorial cross border services.
LSP-CIP: STORK, STORK2, epSOS, GEN6
Red SARA → sTESTA
@Firma → STORK
060 → Your Europe
EUGO → PSCs - Services Directive
CTT → JOINUP
... → ISA Work Programme
Cooperation - EU
23. Alignment with the European
Interoperability Framework
[NIFO Factsheet Spain, 05 2013]
25. Conclusions
Three keys to interoperability in eGov:
a sound and comprehensive legal framework
common infrastructures and services with legal basis
strong cooperation
+ Alignment with EU strategies, policies and actions.
Work is ongoing:
Implementation of the NIF in P.A.s
Evolution to improve the NIF and provide stronger legal support to
code lists and inventories of administrative objects
use of common infrastructures and services.
reuse of applications as products or services through the network.
together with associated Interoperability Agreements
26. Some facts and figures
90% of the services provided by the central Government and 78% by the regional
Governments are online available.
According to the European Commission, Spain is above the European average in
eGovernment with 95% of full online available public services (out of 20 measured
services).
The online sophistication of public services reaches 98% in the European context.
Spain’s eServices score 91% on usability and 90% on user satisfaction monitoring.
Leadership in accessibility of public websites.
