Ambitions / Needs of Flemish Government

• Advantages:– Cost-efficiency: better one reuseable foundation then many adhoc point-solutions– One common outward interface / Common standards for the Flemish Government

• General Design Principles– Prioritisation based on concrete needs– Open standards, embedded security– Co-existence with other layers of government

DTP Design Principles

• DTP @the cradle:– Need for dematerialization of documents / forms etc to diminish

mountains of paper and to speed up processes.– Need for keeping processes and documents legally valid whilst

“dematerializing”– Usable internally in government & in context of interaction with citizens

and economic actors.– Many different formats of information: letters, documents, dossiers,

contracts, architectural drawings, …

• DTP v1 scope :– VERY generic platform usable with minimum limitations– Simple document-signing for civil servants– Generic document/dossier signing service for platforms


DTP Design Principles /2

• DTP v1 in short:– Enable legally valid signing of documents/dossiers by means of a shared

digital signing service.– Enable signing of documents & dossiers of multiple formats (as dossiers

may contain different types of files).– Enable muliple signatures (eg subsidy-contracts need to be signed by two

parties) + prevent possible fraud.– WYSIWYS (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Sign), meaning visualisation of

document and signatures as much as like in the paper world, conformant to templates of the Flemish Government

– Client should be available on Windows, Mac, Linux, … and be eID-friendly.
