  1. Objectives • A system to deal with standards issues across the whole Scottish public sector • A way of strongly recommending standards across the Scottish public sector • A framework for other types of related standards (procedural and project guidance) • A way of sharing best practice and avoiding repetition in technical developments • Increase the involvement of public-sector organisations in the standards processes • We want to encourage private-sector companies who supply ICT products and services to the Scottish public sector to make sure that their products meet OSIAF standards. • Set up a network of OSIAF co-ordinators and technical contacts with training, support and access to information • Provide support from a technical assurance co-ordinator and an overall assurance framework • Provide instant access to standards and the latest technical information on the Openscotland website (www.openscotland.gov.uk) • Provide information on accreditation and training schemes

  2. Coverage of the OSIAF • This framework is relevant to the Scottish Executive and its agencies, non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs), the National Health Service in Scotland (NHSiS), local government, and the wider public and voluntary sectors as voluntary partners. • The interoperability standards in the OSIAF are mandated on the Scottish Executive, its agencies and NDPBs for all new systems and for all outward-facing legacy systems that are needed to meet e-service delivery targets. • It is also relevant to private intermediaries and suppliers of ICT products and services for the public sector in Scotland. • Where we provide funding (for example, from the Scottish Executive Information Systems Steering Group or the Modernising Government Fund (MGF)), the standards are mandated for that project.

  4. OSIAF – suppliers and the public sector supporting each other give service to… buy from… Suppliers Public Sector Public & Business require efficient government… require better services from… sell to…

  5. OSIAF compliance requirements Suppliers to public-sector e-services delivery projects must: • be committed to the OSIAF; • be able to provide confirmation that the product meets the OSIAF standards; • respond to requests for products and services (for example, invitations to tender) with information that shows that the solution being offered will meet all relevant standards in the OSIAF; • provide industry expertise in developing the overall framework, in developing standards and by supporting pilot programmes; and • commit to formal approval of products and services within defined timescales. Procurement and legal professionals must: • make sure that specifications of requirements, as set out in the invitation to tender and contract terms and conditions, include meeting the OSIAF; and • make sure the assessment process of procurement and tender proposals includes proper assessment of the OSIAF.

  12. Technical Assurance What is Assurance ? Technical Assurance Objectives Assurance Responsibilities Assurance Framework Assurance Approach Assurance Techniques • Focus on support – to Programme/Project Managers and Boards • Not to dictate standards – rather to support their implementation and development • Facilitate and advise where required

  17. Links with e-GIF • There is no requirement to directly post Scottish standards or schemas in development to GovTalk. • The Cabinet Office e-Government Unit has agreed that the OSIAF Technical Assurance Coordinator will maintain an overview of standards in development and notify/consult with them appropriately. • The latest version of e-GIF recognises the application of OSIAF within the Scottish public sector.

  18. Stimulating joined-up-ness • Supporting transformation of public services • Promoting effectiveness of public services • Supporting IT efficiencies • Cost-effective IT security 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 People & Process OSIAF e-GIF Accreditation Authority e-GIF v6 • Register of Accredited Organisations • Register of Certified Practitioners e-GIF Compliance Assessment Service Technology IAF • Buyer/Seller symmetric • Proof of Compliance Assessment IAF (draft) Policies & Standards e-GIF v1

  20. OSIAF (e-GIF) Compliance Tests • Main tests: • Can a system be used by a browser interface? • Does a system use XML as the primary means for data integration? • Does a system use Internet and World Wide Web standards? • Does a system use metadata for content management? • Ultimate test: • Can any component or product used within an interface be replaced by another of a similar specification and the functionality of the system still be maintained?

  21. Accreditation & Certification • Competency Framework • Skills management • Certification of individuals • Accreditation of organisations
