Document Exchange Protocol DHX Evelin Kuusik, Tõnu Põld
DHX Purpose: • standardised and simple method to exchange documents Target group: • All Estonian public sector organizations • Companies who exchange large amounts of documents with public sector
DEC vs DHX • Document Exchange Centre (DEC) • Operated since 2006 • Has over 600 agencies • Centralised, „post-office“ type solution • New solution DHX • Faster and simpler • No single point of failure • Lower operation costs
Roadmap • Draft version of the protocol (https://github.com/e-gov/DHX ) • April-August 2016 • Reference implementation of DHX protocol • Verification and analysis of DHX protocol • September-December • Developing universal adapter component (UC) • Planning migration • 2017-2018 • Migration to DHX
Work done • Reference implementation is tested and ready: • https://dhxdemo.eesti.ee/ • An analysis was carrid out, during which interviews were made with: • Estonian biggest DMS developers • Users of DMS (representatives of public sector) • Main problem: • DHX uses X-road, an update to v.6comes with a licence fee that is too high for many smaller organizations • The representative’s concept was created to solve the problem
Business case 1 • Organization using DHX by direct mode: • Organization with its own DMS and IT-support • Bulky document exchange • Does not require third party (representative) • Wants to be independent from service providers • To do: • Join X-road • Install and host security server • Implement DHX protocol • Create DHX services • Updated DMS
Business case 2 • Organization using DHX through the representative • Organization requiring technical competence of service provider • Suitable for small organizations • Organization does not want to join x-road (due to financial considerations) • To Do: • Find representative (ISA maintains the list of accepted representatives) • Sign a contract with representative • Create an interface between DMS and representative’s IS depending on whether the DMS is hosted by the representative or the representative acts solely as DHX service provider • Pay for the service according to the contract)
Further work • Profitability calculation • Migration plan • Some technical details
