European Interoperability Framework
‘Interoperability, within the context of European public service delivery, is the ability of disparate and diverse organisations to interact towards mutually beneficial and agreed common goals, involving the sharing of information and knowledge between the organisations, through the business processes they support, by means of the exchange of data between their respective ICT systems.’

Register of the information objects The Bulgarian meta-data model consists of definitions for:• Terms • Values• Nomenclatures• Segments• e-Documents
The main part of the definitions for values, nomenclatures and segments is the corresponding XML- construction.
The e-documents are the 5-th type of information object, liable to registration.
This registration guarantees that for every e-document is available free of charge
application for viewing or editing.
The process of registration and the Register of the information objects are under regulation of the Ordinance on the Registers of the information objects and the electronic services

10
Register of the information objects
Two type of electronic services are under registration: “Primary services” and “Complex services”. The Complex services are “services invoking other services”.
The main subject of the registration is the services interface, represented by e-documents for service request and e-documents for
service response(s).
Register of the electronic services
The process of registration and the Register of the electronic services
are under regulation of the Ordinance on the Registers of the
information objects and the electronic services
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
Two important sections of the Register of the registers and the data
11
Register of the information objects
Section “Non-unified data” consists of data definitions accepted directly from law-texts. Section “Unified data” consists of unified data definitions, corresponding to one or more non-unified data definitions.

Section “Non-unified data”
The process of registration and the Register of the registers and the data are under regulation of the Instruction on the Register of the registers and the data

About the “clearing process”
12
Register of the information objects
Tree steps to “produce” formalized data definition:
1. Extraction of data definition from law texts and registration as non-unified data definition
2. Unification and registration as unified data definition(s)
3. Formalization (XML- construction building) and registration as formalized data definition

Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
About the “clearing house”
• Rules for data unification and formalization
• Data definitions Repository
• Council for entries
• Supporting administration
13
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
Certification for interoperability compliance
• Certification for interoperability compliance of Requirements for IT projects
• Certification for interoperability compliance of Applications for viewing and editing of e-documents
• Certification for interoperability compliance of Administrative Information Systems
14
The certification process for interoperability compliance is under regulations of Ordinance on the general requirements for interoperability and information security
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
Documents exchange between administrations
• The administrations exchange e-documents through Uniform environment for exchange of electronic documents (UEEED)
• UEEED is a manageable environment for standardized and secure exchange of documents
15
The creation and maintenance of UEEED is under regulation of Ordinance on the requirements to the uniform environment for exchange of electronic documents
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
Some UEEED features
• The transferred e-documents are checked for compliance with their definition in the Register of the information objects
• Two level of addressing in UEEED:
- Physical level – by IP
- Logical level – by unique ID, generated at the stage of registration in UEEED
• The Administrative IS can be connected to the UEEED by integration with UEEED-Client
16
The Ministry of TITC is building and will maintenance the UEEED. The UEEED-Client will be available free of charge.
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
The administrations
• Have to accept or reject service requests in unified manner independently of way of transfer
• Have to support documents exchange by all channels;
• Have to be represented on the Common Administrative Portal- CAP;
• The CAP is a single access point for the all of services, supported by all of Bulgarian administrations.
17
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
The administrations have to support unified services execution:
• Independently of way of transfer of service’s request and response;
• Independently of requesting side, if the service’s access is permitted for this side;
• Independently of administration, in a way of services, which are supported by many similar administrations- e.g. municipality administrations;
18
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
Two base infrastructures• Infrastructure for setting up and maintenance
of semantic interoperability– MTITC is responsible for setting up– The resources of the infrastructure are
centralized • Infrastructure for e-services support
– Only UEEED and the general administrative portal are centralized resources
– Other resources are under support by different administrations and concern identification of persons and organizations, delivering information needed for services execution etc.
19
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
Tree levels of services
• Level 1: Services for person and organization identification
• Level 2: Services for collection of the necessary data for service execution
• Level 3: Services requested by citizens and organizations
20
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
Services for person’s and organization's identification
• The services use only UEEED for exchange of services request and response
• The features of UEEED ensures the identification of requester of service for identification of person or organization
21
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
Services for collection of the necessary data for service execution
• The services use mainly UEEED for exchange of services request and response, but any other channels for document exchange are applicable
• Those kind of services are requested only after successful identification of requesting person or organization- the services from level 1
22
Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications
Services requested by citizens and organizations
• The services use for exchange of services request and response any channels for document exchange, excluding UEEED
• Two general condition for possible service execution:– Successful requester identification, by using
services from level 1– Successful collection of necessary data from
another administrations, by using services from level 2

A specialized Gateway will connect Bulgarian environment of administrative services with some one else. The Gateway will support:
• Protocol compatibility with eu-requirements
• Translation from eu-service specification to bg-service specification and vice versa
• Control of execution of services, including complex type, in Bulgarian environment of administrative services
