SEMIC 2015, which will take place at the National Library of Latvia in Riga, will explore how Enterprise Information Management can help public administrations to reduce costs and improve public services through digital transformation, for example through the application of the principles digital by default or introduction of information once-only.
While the application of these principles is common in the private sector, their adoption in public administration remains quite low. The conference will present good practices that have successfully addressed these issues and helped the administrations in question to cut their costs while at the same time increasing their efficiency.
Conference topics include the following presentations:
- The Dutch Stelselcatalogus, a ‘governmental glossary’ with definitions of all concepts that are included in the Dutch Base Registers
- The Finnish Act of 2011 on Information Management Governance in Public Administration
- Enterprise information management in Austria — Core registers and their contribution to core data model establishment
- The portfolio of solutions for Spanish public administrations
- The Latvian Roadmap on Core data models in eGovernment interoperability
- European Commission — Different dimensions of the once-only principle
- The Japanese Common Vocabulary Project, which provides a Concept Dictionary and sample Information Exchange Package Descriptions for fundamental terms
Gertrud Ingestad, Director of Digital Business Solutions at the European Commission, will chair the conference.
The SEMIC conference is supported by the ISA programme.
Further information on how ISA supports semantic interoperability in European eGovernment systems can be found on the website of the European Commission.
