1. JOINING UP GOVERNMENTS EUROPEAN COMMISSION D2.1.2 Aligning future work on ADMS.SW and OpenApps ISA Action 1.1 - Semantic Methodologies - SEMIC 3 16 October 2012

2. Agenda and objectives AGENDA 1.Overview of the ADMS.SW initiative: vision, analysis of existing forges, vocabulary, implementations (30') 2.Introduction of the Basque Open Assets initiative: vision, decree, specification, implementations(30') 3.Aligning future plans: discussion (60') 4.Aligning the vocabularies: discussion (60') OBJECTIVES Identify solutions to federate software description metadata of the Basque public sector on Joinup To align both initiatives: what is the story? To share and reuse knowledge 2

3. 1 Vision A need for sharing and reusing software https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/elibrary/document/isa- deliverable-vision-enhanced-software-description-metadata- schema-and-software-

4. The Digital Agenda for Europe and the EIF The European Interoperability Framework (EIF) recommends public administrations to reuse and share solutions and to cooperate on the development of joint solutions when implementing European public services. In this context, the EIF encourages applying the principle of openness when jointly developing custom- made software systems. better administrative coordination interoperability open standards Open platforms reuse share “Need for a better administrative coordination between public administrations and applications that are interoperable and based on open standards and open platforms”

5. Stakeholder needs The sharing and reuse of software for public administrations across borders and sectors corresponds to an actual and increasing need of important stakeholders F/OSS projects Governments Attract public administrations to reuse their software and want to build a community of contributors. Equal visibility, independent of the hosting location. Encourage the sharing and reuse of software for e-Government. Public administrations ISA Programme Increasing need for cross-border and cross-sector digital interactions with external parties Encourage the sharing and reuse of interoperability solutions for public administrations across border an sectors.

6. Information barriers to the sharing and reuse of software Features are not well documented Lack of confidence in F/OSS solutions Lack of quality assurance Limited view of public administrations usage of existing F/OSS solutions Language barrier Lack of information on standards and specifications implemented by an F/OSS Lack of visibility Source: D5.1.1 - Vision Document: The vision for an enhanced software description metadata schema and federated software catalogue

7. Problems with the federated forges on Joinup Dependent on a technology that is specific to GForge 4 and FusionForge. Software description metadata from other infrastructures cannot be automatically retrieved The current “federation” of software project descriptions on Joinup does not overcome all information barriers to the sharing and reuse of software.federation It only federates 3 elements: name, description and URL !

8. 2 EU Repositories Analysis of existing repositories https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/elibrary/document/isa- deliverable-report-existing-software-forges

12. 3 Solution ADMS.SW and the enhanced federation of software catalogues

13. An RDF vocabulary to describe software assets Metadata category Metadata property or relationship Available in DOAP Description ExploreFindIndentifySelectObtain descriptive metadata titlename the title of the software in multiple languages ■■■ description description, shortdesc descriptive text in multiple languages ■■ identifier identifier for the software ■■■ URIlocation uniform resource identifier ■■■ version version of the software release ■■■ related software □ is replaced by a newer version of the software □□□ releasefile-release a release of the software □ applicability domain the domain of the software (e.g. using EuroVoc descriptors) ■□□ spatial coverage geographic region in which the software can be used ■□□ multilingual whether or not the software can be configured to have a multilingual user interface □□ language natural language in which the software interface is available □ related regulation related regulations from which the software is derived ■ The solution is twofold. On the hand, there is the enhanced software description metadata schema (ADMS.SW)

14. Building an enhanced, federated catalogue software for e-Government EXPLORE FIND IDENTIFY SELECT OBTAIN FEDERATIO N With common metadata schema Public administrations Businesses Standardisation bodies Academia Software forge Software repository Software catalogue Software forge On the other hand, there is the ADMS-enabled federation of the different national software catalogues, repositories, and forges which enhances the sharing and reuse of software.

15. Advantages A common specification to describe software assets on the Web will give better visibility, better search, help overcome information barriers and provide a better linking Better visibility Better linking Increased and equal visibility, independent of the hosting location. Build and explore semantic networks of people, free and open software, and open standards Better search overcome information barriers Allows searching for software from a single point of access Help overcome the information barriers related to the sharing and reuse of interoperability solutions among public administrations

16. Perceived benefits Interoperability Freedom of choice Reduced TCO Support and accountability Auditability Network effects Reliability Source: D5.1.1 - Vision Document: The vision for an enhanced software description metadata schema and federated software catalogue

17. Part of a bigger solution The maintenance of a software catalogue for public administration system development is not an isolated measure. Policy makers and public administrations need to continue to invest in a combination of measures: The provision of legal advice related to the sharing and reuse of software The construction and maintenance of a catalogue of open-standards and a software catalogue for public administration system development; The creation of procurement policies, regulations, guidelines, and processes to support the procurement of software Guidance with the effective support of a community of developers and users. 2 3 1 4
