PIESPublic Information Exchange Scheme Feb, 2013 PIES Team
Background • In the past, various systems have been developed. In order to foster “open government”, the Japanese government is now reviewing systems fundamentally.(e.g. code, vocabulary set etc) • Citizens demand “Citizen centric” service • Cooperation among systems is required • Currently, the government is preparing "citizen ID and enterprise ID ” • To progress cross-government measures , Government CIO was established on Aug 10, 2012 • Activities and framework to aggregate “Open government” are implemented now in Japan. It turns out to be higher demands for interoperability of data. • “Information Management ” is quite important in terms of information security. • Calling for standardized vocabulary set has been increasing from two purposes. • To achieving interoperability of data across the government agencies • To promoting “open data”
Basic concept of PIES Applications Share, Exchange, Storage (Format) PIES Vocabulary Citizen ID Enterprise ID Character-set • Prepare the framework enabling to exchange data, primarily vocabulary sets. • Requirement • Divide the domains into two. • core domain & business domain • Unnecessary to reconvert exiting systems. • International interoperability • Utilize existing standards(e.g. DC, foaf, other vocabulary set) as much as possible. • Policy • Prepare “core domain” in urgent • Test some business domains to find methods to introduce the framework.
Overview Domain … Person Location Tax Business Emergency Management Core • Item Activity Identification Social security • We will launch PIESαversion until next march. • Emergency Managementarea and Social Security-Tax area will be trialed. • Relief goods vocabulary is focused after East Japan great earthquake. • Citizen IDwill connect the Social Security area and Tax area.
Interoperability • International interoperability is highly considered in preparing PIES. • Primarily considerations: vocabulary sets used in Japan and existing vocabulary standards.
Problems and issues • Three different characters are used in Japan • Kanji(Chinese character), kana, and alphabet • There are not many specialists in the field of information management in Japan. → very small number of practical specialists in semantic-web. • We should consider the steering committee and organization for operation and maintenance of PIES. • METI leads PIES project in 2012 & 2013. • The project work with IT strategic headquarter, MIC and other organizations.

Although its field of project is narrow and different, it can be exemplified as a good practice of similar model with PIES.
