Through this brief webinar Mr. van der Waal will share with the audience how the Flemish ICT organisation V-ICT-OR developed with the Flemish municipalities an Open Standard model for the use of authentic Belgium and Flemish registers with the enrichment of data which is needed in local government. Besides a theoretical model started in November 2014, the implementation and integration with the Flemish government solutions have taken place. Now, a good environment of work have been created for local municipalities.
