Presentation: “MIA: a public initiative to constitute an interoperability framework among administrations” In the current European public administration structure, there are a number a governance layers, ranging from the European Union institutions to the municipalities. Each governance layer is, in turn, divided into different ministries or department, which in reality operate like islands, running different, separed, independent computer systems which in reality correspond to deep differences among them. However, the first consequence of that for the citizen is that, when connecting to any eGovernment system, the citizens sees the administration not as "another speaker" to have a dialogue with, but as a crowd of heads, with different levels, scopes, and operational media. The STREAM Technology Center (Schlumberger Technology Center for Europe at Madrid) is fostering an open initiative oriented to constitute a standard for interconnection of public administration systems at all levels: XML, dabases, security, working processes, respecting the heterogeneousness of each public administration but keeping a minimal common interoperation point which allows all administrations to interact like one with the citizen. << back     Siena Convention Bureau Via Banchi di Sopra, 31 - 53100 Siena (Italy) Ph   +39 0577 274788 - Fax  +39 0577 219042 info@sienaconventionbureau.it
