Guideline 60. Interoperable services

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 07/10/2018 - 09:46

The institution, in coordination with other participants in the agreement, implements interoperable services in accordance with the institutional model of interoperability for the implementation of international agreements.

The implementation of international agreements involves the development of a service-oriented architecture and includes the development and implementation of a set of services. These services must be properly orchestrated within a business processes model adequate to carry out the processes described in international agreements.

Guideline code

ICT_08000

Mechanism

In order to develop interoperable services for the implementation of international agreements, the Responsible Technical Team (RTT) and the ICT unit should:

Establish project implementation teams and ICT specialized units to analyse, design and implement the necessary services in the implementation of international agreements;
Generate a technical specification including, for each candidate, data exchange operation, the information model of objects and relationships (i.e. the metadata schema), service-oriented characterization (i.e. SOA interfaces) and non-functional requirements (i.e. performance, security, etc.);
Design a business processes model for the implementation of international agreements and identify those processes that can be automated by invoking the services developed;
Assess the impacts on business within the implementation plan.

Interoperable services executed in the Common Reference Service (CRS) may consist of loosely-coupled message exchange, for example using Web Services.
Interoperable services executed in the National Exchange System (NES) may use, ideally, e-government platforms implemented in the country, or loosely coupled message exchange, for example using Web Services.
Interoperable services executed in the Institutional Exchange System (IES), to implement system integration within an institution, may consist of message queues using SOA-oriented middleware, for example Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), and also Web Services.
The ICT unit should establish and implement interoperable services at the institutional level to put into practice interaction with the other institutions.
The RTT and ICT unit should carry out communications plans to convey the relevant information on the development of services for the implementation of international agreements in the areas of social security in the institutions.

Structure

The management should commission the institution’s delegates in the liaison committee of the agreement, and the ICT unit, to implement interoperable services at the international level for the international agreements, in coordination with the other participating institutions.
The management should commission the ICT unit to implement interoperable services at the institutional level.
The interoperable services should be based on the defined architectures (international, national and institutional).
The interoperable services for the implementation of international agreements should follow the institutional technical standards on interoperability recommended in the current set of Guidelines, Section B.1, Interoperability.
