Introduction

The objectives of the CoP

Raise awareness on the importance of Core Data Models and Reference Data.

Develop common guidelines for the management of Core Data Models and Reference Data.

Join forces for alignment and interoperability agreements that could lead to international standardisation

Community of PracticeDevelopments since November 2014

A dedicated space for the CoPhas been created on Joinup.

• https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/node/109954

• Mailing list: semic-core-data-models@joinup.ec.europa.eu

The Charter of the CoP has been published.

CoP on Core Data Models The way forward

Elaborate on the shared vision statement for the CoP and a set of shared definitions and mappings• Shared definitions: Review the proposed definitions – part of the Semantic View of the European Reference Architecture.

• Alignment: Providing requirements and feedback on the Core Data Models Mapping Directory & creation of mappings.

The shared vision, the outcomes of the alignment and the proposals for common future work will be made publicly available on the CoP space on Joinup

https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/node/109954“

CoP on Core Data Models The way forward

Create a collection of reusable information resources about Core Data Models & Reference Data• Stock taking: Identify and give visibility to cases studies featuring practices and tools in the participating countries.

• Benefits: Identify and measure the key benefits brought by the Core Data Models & Reference Data.

• Feedback: The members CoP acting as reviewers for studies produced under ISA Action 1.1.

The most important reports and studies produced by ISA Action 1.1 can be found on Joinup

CoP on Core Data Models The way forward

A common publication “International guidelines for Core Data Models and Reference Data• Implementation guidelines: Defining collaboratively guidelines for implementing management of Core Data Models & Reference Data.

• Raise awareness: Emphasise and raise awareness on the key benefits brought by Core Data Models & Reference Data.

Identify common pilots and synergies • Moving forward together: The members CoP proposing future directions for work of common interest under ISA Action 1.1.

Join forces to explore the options towards international standardisation • Interoperability agreements for the governance and management of Core Data

Models & Reference Data.

Key building blocks in the Core Data Models landscape

The view of the ISA Programme through the Semantic View of the European Interoperability Reference Architecture (EIRA)

Data plays a key role in the public sector

• Public organisations are big producers and consumers of data, used for:

o Informing policy development

o Ensuring accountability

o Driving efficiency; and

o Cross-border and cross-sector public service delivery.

14

Master data

• Describe basic information involved in an organisation

Examples: persons, companies, vehicles, buildings, locations, roads

• Used by multiple business processes and different public services

• Stored in base registries

Types of data in the public sector

Standardising master data formats and values are critical for successful system integration and information exchanges.

Transactional data

• Describe an internal or external event or transaction

Example: the delivery of a public service that takes place.

“ “

15

Reference data

• Small, discrete set of values that imposes consistent classification

• Not updated as part of business transactions

• Relevant across more than one business systems belonging to different organisations and sectors

Examples: lists of status codes, currency codes, country abbreviations, demographic fields, genders, file types.

Standardised reference data is key to data integration and interoperability, and facilitate the sharing and reporting of

information.

Types of data in the public sector

“ “

16

Structural metadata - Core Data model

• Collection of core entities, their properties and the relationships among them.

• Minimum representation of a domain, a concept or a real-world thing.

• Expression of the different types of information managed by an organisation.

Descriptive metadata

• Data about data.

• Label, describe, or characterize other data.

• Make it easier to search, retrieve, interpret, or use information.

Types of metadata in the public sector

17

How can you be involved?

• Provide your feedback on the draft of the Semantic View of the European Interoperability Reference Architecture (EIRA).

• Will be shared with the CoP via the mailing list.

• Your feedback will lead to requests for change to be considered in the next releases of the specification.

To find out more about EIRA, visithttps://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/eia/description

Challenges of data management in the public sector

• Limited/uncoordinated development and use of Core Data Models and Reference Data

Interoperability conflicts at the schema and at the value levels.

• Lack of governance

Opaque decision-making with regards to the roles and responsibilities involved in the lifecycle of Core Data Models and Reference Data

• Lack of enterprise-level data management

Errors and unavailability of business critical Core Data Models and Reference Data.

19

Standardising and agreeing on the use of common master data formats and values is critical for successful system integration and seamless information exchanges in the context of cross-border and

cross-sector public services and trans-European systems.

Data management and the reuse of common specifications

ISA Action 1.1 on semantic interoperability is working on building consensus on, promoting and managing the lifecycle of • Standardised master data formats Core Data Models• Values Reference data

for public sector master data hosted in the base registries.

How can you be involved?

• Provide your feedback on the “Methodology and tools for Metadata Governance and Management for EU Institutions and Member States”

• Available from: http://goo.gl/vYBE5r

• Your feedback will be considered in the next release of the study (work in progress).

The Core Data Model Mapping Directory

Demo available at: http://mapping.semic.eu

What can the Core Data Model Mapping Directory do for you?

27

Creation of mappings

• Concept mappings

• Excel based

Publishing of mappings

• Quality control

• Transform to RDF

Exploration of mappings

• browsing

• Visual

• Machine processeable

Creation of mappings between Core Data Models

• Conceptual level mappingso Express relationships between entities.

o The existence of a relationship is prerequisite for an implementation.

• Syntax level mappingso Express relationships between entities and how one representation can

be transformed into another one.

o Requires:

- the selection of the physical representations of each Core Data Model (XML, DB, RDF, ...)

- the selection of a transformation engine. (e.g. XSLT, R2ML, ...)
