Interoperability: infrastructure, framework and adoption

An interoperability framework has been adopted and published

Review of laws, strategy and planning documents to verify the interoperability framework has been adopted and published.

The framework covers all levels of interoperability (legal, semantic, organisational, and technical)

Review of laws on whether the interoperability framework covers all levels of interoperability (legal, semantic, organisational and technical)

It is mandatory for the entire public sector to adhere to the interoperability framework

Review of laws, strategy and planning documents to verify it is mandatory for the entire public sector to adhere to the interoperability framework.

The interoperability framework is in alignment and corresponds to the EU Interoperability Framework, at least for the cross-border dimension

Review of laws, strategy and planning documents to verify the alignment and correspondence of the interoperability framework with the EU Interoperability Framework, for at least the cross-border dimension.

Adoption of the interoperability framework (%)

Review of government documents to check the adoption of the interoperability framework. Experts calculate the percentage of the total number of public administration institutions (ministries and dependent agencies at the central level) which are connected to the interoperability framework. Points are allocated based on the share of institutions connected to the interoperability framework (x): • x < 33% = 0 points. • 33% ≤ x < 95% = linear function. • x ≥ 95% = 5 points.

Public sector information systems corresponding to the framework and its requirements (%)

assesses the share of public sector information systems corresponding to the framework and requirements. The percentage is calculated of the total number of information systems in the central government public administration. - An information system is any software application holding, processing or presenting data. - Information about the total number of information systems is obtained from a catalogue (inventory) of information systems in the public administration. Data Collection Questions (no points allocated): Number of yearly transactions (data queries) of the interoperability system in the last 3 years. Points are allocated based on the share of public sector information systems corresponding to the framework and its requirements (x): • x < 33% = 0 points. • 33% ≤ x < 95% = linear function • x ≥ 95% = 5 points
