What is Access to Base Registries?
What is Interoperability?
What is the ABR project?
What is the ABR Action?

5. What is a Base Registry? INTRODUCTION TO ABR
According to the European Interoperability Framework (EIF), Base Registries are:
“reliable sources of basic information on items such as persons, companies, vehicles, licenses, buildings, locations and roads” and “are authentic and authoritative and form, separately or in combination, the cornerstone of public services”
3 key principles for base registries
RECOGNITION acknowledged Authorities
TRUSTWORTHINESS quality and accuracy of data
LEGAL CERTAINTY valid source of information
Base registries hold the most basic and crucial information essential for facilitating effective governmental services
The cornerstones of public services
The fundamental pillars of modern eGovernment

6. What is Access to Base Registries?
INTRODUCTION TO ABR
What is Access to Base Registries?
Having access to relevant and updated data is essential for public authorities to carry out its tasks
Cooperation between registries considerably reduce the administrative burden for businesses and citizens.
Effective access to data in base registries is the main enabler of the ‘Once-Only’ Principle
Removing the burden of citizens having to resupply information
Access to base registries facilitate the ‘Once only’ principle, which “involve eliminating the unnecessary administrative burden that occurs when citizens and businesses are required to supply the same information more than once to public administrations”.

7. What is Interoperability?
INTRODUCTION TO ABR
What is Interoperability?
- The ability to interact towards mutual goals through sharing information and data between ICT systems
Essentials for BR interoperability
Cooperation among public administrations with the aim to establish more efficient public services;
Exchanging information and data among public administration registries to fulfil legal requirements or political commitments;
Sharing and reusing information and data among public administrations to increase administrative efficiency and cut red tape for citizens and businesses.
Benefits from BR interoperability
Improved public service delivery to citizens and businesses by facilitating the one-stop-shop delivery of public services;
Higher efficiency through less administrative work for governments and less interaction needed from citizens
Lower costs for public administrations, businesses and citizens due to the efficient delivery of public services.
Better access to information across borders
Increased transparency at MS and EU level
Interoperability between base registries is both a prerequisite for and a facilitator of efficient delivery of public services.

8. What is the ABR Action? INTRODUCTION TO ABR ABR in a nutshell
Promote interconnection/access to information in different types of base registries to deliver cross-border and cross-sector public services
An essential step towards achieve the level of interoperability needed to facilitate a DSM
The ABR Action aim to:
modernise public administrations, achieve cross-border interoperability and facilitate easy interactions with citizens.
minimise the number of interactions needed between the administrations and the businesses and citizens by promoting the ‘Once-Only’ principle

Part of the ISA2 programme and the DSM strategy and Action Plan

9. What is the ABR project? INTRODUCTION TO ABR ABR objectives
Improve interoperability between base registries, cross-border and cross-sector, at a MS and EU level
Facilitate acceleration in new designs and increase efficiency via interoperability
Allow savings via rationalisation and reusability
Current activities
Analyze the current state of affairs and propose ways forward (MS Factsheets)
Facilitate the exchange of best practices on base registry access and interconnection between MS
Disseminate the results of the Action
Create an initial Framework for Base Registry Access
Update and maintain the Dashboard on JoinUp

10. THE OUTPUT OF ABR Identified Good Practices
Catalogue of Reusable Solutions
Guidelines on Interconnection to Base Registries
ABR Factsheets
Timeline (perhaps another summary slide)

11. Identified Good Practices
THE OUTPUT OF ABR
Identified Good Practices
Identified 17 good practice solutions for interconnection of base registries at a EU and MS level
Providing support on access and interconnection of authentic sources of information in all the EIF layers (LOST layers)
Providing a set of real examples from Member States initiatives
Served as an high-level “dos and don’ts” guide on the necessary steps implement interoperable Base Registries
The first step towards mapping the landscape of existing interoperable solutions
Perhaps clarify mapping the landscape

12. Catalogue of Reusable Solutions
THE OUTPUT OF ABR
THE OUTPUT OF ABR
Catalogue of Reusable Solutions
Identifies and catalogues existing solutions for reuse or inspiration for interoperable solutions
Offers an in depth analysis on the reusability of existing solutions at EU and MS level, based on the Sharing and Reuse (ISA action) criteria
Classifies the identified solutions according to the views and Building Blocks of EIRA (European Interoperability Reference Architecture)
122 solutions (51 extended description and 71 short description)
(describes, classifies (EIRA) assess reusability (Sharing and reuse)
When a Member State wish to implement a base registry solution, the Catalogue of Reusable Solutions serves as both a source of inspiration and a source of reusable solutions to implement.

13. Q1: Catalogue of Reusable Solutions
THE OUTPUT OF ABR
Q1: Catalogue of Reusable Solutions
You can answer these questions by using the chat function ( see sample answers below)
Q 1.1: If you were to implement a new solution related to base registries, which of the following 3 alternatives would you be more comfortable with?
Reuse a successful solution from another MS
Looking at other MS initiatives as an inspiration
Creating a new and unique solution from scratch
Q 1.2: Would you be willing to share your best practice solutions with other MS for potential reuse?
Q 1.3: What type of reusable solution are you looking for?
Sample answer:
‘1.1 a’
Create answer scenarios for Q 1.4
Q: How useful is the
Sample answer:
‘1.2 Y’ or ‘1.2 N’

14. Guidelines on Interconnection to BR
THE OUTPUT OF ABR
THE OUTPUT OF ABR
Guidelines on Interconnection to BR
Provide support on access and interconnection of authentic sources of information in all EIF levels;
Provide a set of best practices for entities providing access to or interconnecting authentic sources of information;
Provide recommendation on specific actions to be taken in order to improve access and interconnection of authentic sources of information;
Offer references to reusable solutions in the Catalogue of Reusable Solutions
The Guidelines describe how to implement interoperable solutions referencing solutions in the Catalogue of Reusable Solutions

15. ABR Factsheets THE OUTPUT OF ABR THE OUTPUT OF ABR
Created a collection of 32 in depth country profiles analysing state-of-affairs of:
Existing base registries
Base registries’ data
Base registries interconnection and data exchange
Offer a more complete picture of each country’s approach in terms of:
General efforts towards interoperability
Interoperability in terms of the EIF layers (legal, organisational, semantic and technical)
eGovernment Public Services making use of Base Registries data
MS Factsheets serve as input for the EC and MS on what types of solutions and approaches are being developed in the Member States.
