Deutschland Online Standardisation has published its XÖV Core Components Library.

The final version 1.0 of the initiative's library can be accessed at Germany's XRepository, the central web based directory of all XÖV data models and schemas. The reuse of data structures as they are standardised in XÖV core components will improve interoperability between different XÖV standards and thus between cross-domain administrative processes.

Content of the XRepository

As core components, the data models included in the library define the way all communication partners involved can model their data uniformly in order to avoid conflicts in data exchange. Data which have been modelled according to standardised data structures facilitate the coordination and exchange both within specific areas and across their borders.

Among the core components are the name of a natural person, address, sex and marital status. In the XRepository there are 22 core components, additionally.

Requirements become part of future developments

By providing the core components for the XRepository the development of XÖV core components is not yet accomplished. All requirements and expectations from XÖV-projects shall have access to future versions of core components, just as, all experiences gained by using the developed core components.

Therefore the Federal Agency for Information Technology (BIT) coordinates all XÖV standardisation attempts, and consults all XÖV-projects. Besides operating the XRepository the BIT provides other tools, such as the XGenerator.
