e-Government Interoperability in the Federal Government of Brazil

1. e-Government Interoperability in the Federal Government of Brazil @METIS Kick off meeting March, 2005

2. Interoperability basis Interoperability Standards (e-Ping) providing a framework for systems under development (1st moment) and existing systems (2nd moment) Interoperability Agenda specifying target services to be integrated (priority areas leading to key services). Based on both Committee decision and a survey involving citizens, business and Government

3. What is INTEROPERABILITY? • Hability to transfer and use information in an efficient and uniform way, throughout several organizations and information systems. (Australian Government) • Coherent interchange of information among services and systems. It must enable the substitution of any component or product used in the linking points by another one with similar specification, without hindering the system functions. (UK Government) • Hability held by two or more systems (computers, means of communication, nets and other IT components) of interacting and interchanging data according to a defined method, in a way the expected results can be obtained. (ISO)

4. e – PING: Definition An architecture that defines a minimum set of premisses, politics and technical specifications that rule the usage of ITC in the Federal Government, establishing the conditions of interaction with the other Powers of the State (Legislature and Judiciary), spheres of government (states and municipalities) and with society.

5. e – PING: Main Politics • Alignment with internet (all the systems) • Adoption of XML (primary standard to data integration) • Adoption of browsers • The development and adoption of a Metadata Standard to e-Government (open and international model) • Development and maintenance of a List of Government Themes (themes related to government action) • Market support (costs and risks)

6. e – PING: Main Politics • Scalability (not a restrictive factor in the development of services) • Transparency (site available to society) • Preference to the adoption of open standards (proprietary are temporary) • Adhesion to the e-PING (gradual and compulsory) • Focus in interoperability (interconectivity of systems, integraton of data, acess to e-government services and management of content) • Warranty of information privacy (by the units responsible for the e-Gov services) • Non-approached themes (it doesn´t standard their presentation)

7. Citizen Business Legislature Federal Government Other countries “Third Sector” (NGOs) States Municipalities Judiciary Attorneys International Organizations e – PING: Relations

8. Model of e-Government Proposed Scenario Isolated channels of access Government organ Government organ Government organ Government organ Government organ Government organ Government organ Government organ Integrated web channels Citizen Other services Other organizations Result: focus on Government organizations Initial Scene Integrated Government Integrated Government Multiple channels of Access Non-integrated Government organs e-Gov services Government Integration Layer Result: focus on the CITIZEN

9.

12. e – PING: Interconecction Components: • Hypertext Transfer Protocol • Electronic Message Transfer • Content Security for Electronic Messages • Mailbox Access • Security for Mailbox access • Directory • Domain Name Service • Eletronic Mailbox address • File Transfer Protocol • LAN / WAN intercommunication • Transfer • Web Services: SOAP, UDDI e WSDL Participants: MP, SERPRO, MEC, MT, IBGE, DNIT, SRF, MI, DATAPREV, MC, BB, CEF, CGU, ABEP, EMBRAPA, etc Coordination: Luiz Gonzaga SERPRO

13. e - PING- Security Components: • IP security • E-mail security • Cryptography • Development • Web services Participants: MP, CPqD, ELETROBRÁS, MEC, CGU, PR, IBGE, MI, MC, MDIC, MRE, ANCINE, DATAPREV, etc Coordination: Humberto Campedelli DATAPREV

14. e - PING- Means of Access Components (I): Standards for access via workstations • Browsers • Set of Characters and Alphabet • Hypertext Interchange Format • Files types: “Document”, “Spreadsheet”, “Presentation” • Files type: “Databank” (for Workstations) • Interchange of Graphical Information and Static Images • Vector Graphics • Specification of Animation Standards • Files types: “Audio” and “Video” • File compression in general • Geoprocessing: standards for workstations

15. e - PING- Means of Access Components (II): Smart Cards / Tokens / Other • Definition of Data • Applications (including Multiapplications) • Electrical components • Communication protocols • Physical Interface Standards • Security • Terminal infrastructure Participants: MP, SERPRO, MS, MI, MRE, ITI, CGU, ECT, MEC, DATAPREV, IBGE, ELETROBRÁS, MC, etc Coordination: Renato Martini ITI / PR Severino Lucchetti SERPRO

16. e - PING- Organization and Information Interchange Components: • Language for data interchange • Language for data transformation • Modeling of data for interchange • Catalogue of common use data • List of Government Themes : Taxonomy for Browsing (LAG) • Government Metadata Standards – e-PMG Participants: MP, SERPRO, ECT, CPqD, CEF, SRF, MMA, MAPA, CGU, MJ, INEP, MRE, etc Coordination: Elói Yamaoka SERPRO

17. e – PING: Areas of Integrations for the e-Government Attributions: • Scanning, analysis and mapping of integration themes in the areas dealt with by e-Government • Identifying the main organs and entities involved in each theme • Managing the XML reference catalogue of shared use for e-Government services • Determining the types of relations • Verifying the adhesion to the e-PING standards Participantes: MP, SERPRO, BB, MI, MJ, DATAPREV, IBGE, SRF, PR, CEF, etc Coordination: Nazaré Lopes SLTI / MP

18. Pilot Services (adhering to the e-PING) • National System of Information Integration about Justice and Public Security – INFOSEG (SENASP/MJ): • Its usage is restricted to the organs belonging to the justice and public security area and its goal is to integrate every existing databank in the country that relates do the area. • Smart Card seal (ITI/PR): • Homologation of systems and equipment of digital certification. • Communitarian radio stations/Geoprocessing (MC): • It compounds the RadCom e SIGPPT systems; • RadCom: workflow of permit to communitarian radio stations; • SIGPPT: geographical information system (it allows the analysis of the location of communitarian radio stations).

19. Finished Results • Creation of the e-PING site: www.eping.e.gov.br • Divulgation: • Site • Technical seminars • Public Consultancy and Hearings • Publication of Version 1 of the e-PING document • e-PING pilots • Interoperability agenda • Implementation all over the Federal Government –Executive • Decrease in the general costs for the Federal Government

20. Technical Challenges • Construction: • Catalogue of common use data of Brazilian government: • Share concepts, remove ambiguities and inconsistencies in the use of government data; • List of government themes (LAG): • the focus of LAG is the citizen; • frequent use is more important than academic accuracy; • it preferes the common language; • Metadata standard for e-government (e-PMG): • based upon the international model Dublin Core (ISO 15836);

21. Technical Challenges • Definition and management of the catalogue of XML schemes related to the thematic areas of government action; • Adoption all over the Federal Government – Executive; • Broadening of the initiative to other levels and spheres of government;

22. Next services to be integrated • Extrajudicial offices (ANOREG) • The main goal is the integration of all the existing extrajudicial offices in the country (18.000) using the precepts defined in the e-PING architecture; • Expected results: • Cut down costs and improve the services offered to the citizens; • make the control easier and promote a more rational use of information; • facilitate the acquisiton of information by organs of every sphere of government (states and municipalities).

23. Next services to be integrated • Addressing standards (CPqD) • it seeks to define the set of information tht will be used to identify na address inside the country (definition of a standard); • great amount of government systems uses addressing; • usage of solutions based upon Geographic Information System (SIG); • Usage of precepts defined in the e-PING architecture;

24. Interoperability Agenda e-Gov National Diagnosis: • Identifying the relationship chains between citizens and business along with Government • Mapping the supply and demand of interactions from citizens and business with the Government • Defining the multichannels of relationship between citizens and business along with Government

25. 4. Mapping of the existing gaps between demand and supply 1. Analysis of demand of services according to “Lifeline” ACTION PLAN 2. Mapping of supply of existing services 5. Development of a Portfolio of solutions in “Lifeline” 3. Analysis of Best Practices in the implementation of “Lifeline” 6. Outcomes in the short run in the Portal of Services Interoperability Agenda

26. Interoperability Agenda • quantitative survey with citizens, business and organs of the government; • national sample to be applied in 10 Brazilian states and municipalities; • model of data analysis will focus based on a framework oriented to the identification of Obligations, Rights, Democratic Participation and Social Control; • this model uses economic and social macroindicators criteria, besides life events of both citizes and business previously established

27. Interoperability Agenda Products of the Diagnosis: • Establish a Portifolio of e-Gov Solutions that improve the supply of services, the socialcontrol and popular participation • Consolidate a National e-Government Plan (for the 2004-2006 period) • Propose an Agenda of e-Government Interoperable Services for citizens, business and local government.
