ELISE - European Location Interoperability Solutions for e-Government glossary

E

A mapping tool used to identify and compare certificates requested in public procurement procedures across the EU

A public sector process can be defined as a set of related activities which transform a certain input of resources (e.g. a (spatial) dataset, a register, statistical data) into an output of products or services (e.g. a decision, a permit or an answer), which often are delivered to citizens, businesses or other administrations.

European data space

COM (2018) 232 defines a European data space as “A seamless digital area with the scale that will enable the development of new products and services based on data”, The European strategy for data envisages domain specific data spaces for Industry, Green Deal (including evaluating the INSPIRE and Environment Information Directives), Mobility, Health, Financial, Energy, Agricultural, Public administration and Skills.

European Interoperability Cartography

EIC

The European Interoperability Cartography (EIC), as defined by the Decision (EU) 2015/2240 is a “repository of interoperability solutions for European public administrations provided by Union institutions and Member States, presented in a common format and complying with specific re-usability and interoperability criteria that can be represented on the EIRA”.

European Interoperability Framework

EIF

The European Interoperability Framework (EIF) gives specific guidance on how to set up interoperable digital public services. It offers public administrations 47 concrete recommendations on how to improve the governance of their interoperability activities, establish cross-organisational relationships, streamline processes supporting end-to-end digital services, and ensure that both existing and new legislation do not compromise interoperability efforts.

European Interoperability Reference Architecture

EIRA

The European Interoperability Reference Architecture (EIRA) is an architecture content metamodel defining the most salient architectural building blocks (ABBs) needed to build interoperable eGovernment systems. The EIRA provides a common terminology that can be used by people working for public administrations in various architecture and system development tasks.

EIS

“…aims to provide guidance and to define priority of the actions needed to improve interaction, exchange and cooperation among European public administrations across borders and across sectors for the delivery of European public services”
