Electronic Archive Services in Lithuania Dr. Arūnas Stočkus Vilnius UniversityFaculty of Mathematics and InformaticsLithuania EBNA, 08-10-2013
Objectives Presentation of Lithuania’s national electronic document platform. Special attention to Electronic Archive Information System and its services.
Different approaches • “Tools-first” approach • Software dependent solutions • Interoperability issues • “Standards-first” approach • Detailed specifications • Concurrent implementations • Practically achieved interoperability

Interoperability problem • The main standardizations efforts in the EU are still targeted to electronic signature formats • Member states should be able to process (validate) the e-signatures formats: XAdES, CAdES, PAdES • The definition of e-signatures container have been undertaken (ASiC) • The true artifact of interoperability is an electronic document
Conventional official documents • Very complex entity • Various content • Appendices and/or attached independent earlier created documents • Signed by one or more signatures • Registered and possesses corresponding attributes
Official electronic documents • Should be adequate to the conventional documents • Meet requirements of national legislation • Consist of three parts:- content- metadata- signatures
ISO/IEC 2950:2009 - docx, xlsx, pptx ISO/IEC 26300:2007 - odt, ods, odp ISO/IEC 19005-1:2008 - pdf ISO/IEC 12234-2:2008 - tiff ISO/IEC 10918-1:2009 - jpg ISO/IEC 15948:2009 - png Attached documents Main document Annexes Structure of el. document Content ElectronicSignatures Signable metadata(Title, author, registration, …) Unsignable metadata(Storage, transformation,…)
Current el. document specifications Minimal requirements for the specifications EGASv1.0 MDOCv1.0 PDF-LT ADOCv1.0 EDAS ADOCv1.1
El. documents creation tools • Free tools for electronic documents creation, presentation and verification • Provided as part of Electronic Archive Information System • Included in Signa® products line (by MitSoft) Used in Web and desktop (Windows) environment • All major document management systems integrate support for ADOC documents
Project goals • To create an integral open IS for accepting and storing electronic documents of National Document Fund (NDF) • To provide a legal access to the stored documents using IT and communication means • To administer NDF efficiently • To provide electronic services
EAIS important features • Deals with original electronic documents, having the same legal value as hand-signed documents • Assures the integrity, authenticity, non-repudiation and possibility to use the electronic documents for a long or unlimited time
EAIS main parts • Public portal • Internal portal • Storage of electronic documents • physically located in Vilnius and Šiauliai • data replication • accessible through internal portal only

EAIS important functionality (1/2) • Authentication of external users throughe-government gateway • All public functions could be invoked interactively and through corresponding Web services • Prepare descriptions of documents • Transfer electronic documents • Search for stored documents • Access public electronic documents
EAIS important functionality (2/2) • Documents creation and signing components can be integrated in external IS • Flexible configuration of authenticity checks • Retention risk management • converting content into long-term storage files (PDF/A format) • extending e-signatures to XAdES-A format • means for physical preservation of electronic documents
EAIS conclusions • EAIS has been launched in October 2011. • The first national archive storing electronic documents signed with qualified e-signatures • Currently EAIS deals with electronic documents of ADOC and EGAS specifications • Government decrees (electronic) has been transferred to EAIS since 2012
Summary • “Standard-first” approach should be chosen • (Free) tools for documents creation, presentation and verification should be provided • Comfort and ease of use is important • Electronic archive is necessary for preservation of documents
