Interoperability Framework

INTEROPERABILITY FRAMEWORK

Interoperability Framework is Set of standards and guidelines which describe the way in which organizations have agreed, or should agree, to interact with each other.

An e-government Interoperability Framework (IF) serves as a foundational document or set of documents that outlines policies, guidelines, and standards for enabling interoperability among government agencies to facilitate the joint delivery of public services. 

 

  • Policies: The IF establishes overarching policies that govern how government agencies should collaborate and share information to deliver public services effectively. 
  • Guidelines: The IF provides detailed guidelines and best practices to help government agencies implement interoperability effectively. These guidelines may cover areas such as data exchange protocols.
  • Data Governance: The IF addresses data governance principles and practices to ensure the quality, integrity, and security of government data shared across agencies. 
  • Security and Privacy: The IF outlines security and privacy requirements that agencies must follow to protect sensitive information and mitigate cybersecurity risks when exchanging data and collaborating on public service delivery.

Organizational Interoperability :(Organizational interoperability is concerned with how different organizations collaborate to achieve their mutually agreed e-government goals.

Semantic Interoperability (Enabling data to be interpreted & processed with the same meaning, etc.) 

Technical Interoperability Technical interoperability covers the applications and infrastructures linking systems and services.

Political: In Political context, support and commitment from authority, provisioning of policies / guidelines, strategies over different levels of interoperability are expected.
