Digital Belgium - CSAM - Simplifying (Access to) e-Government in a Complex Country

For many years now, Belgian government authorities have increasingly been offering online services to citizens and organizations. The "e-loket" online office windows of municipal councils, the Tax-on-Web and InterVat systems, through which a business can transfer VAT data online, are prime and well-known examples.

e-Government offers many advantages, on condition that users' identities are verified, thus ensuring that only the appropriate person gains access to the application used by a given organization.

In Belgium, we have various different types of governments, each providing its own set of services. There is the government at the federal level, as well as ones for the provinces, communities and regions, along with local or municipal councils.

If each government agency provides its own way of controlling access to its applications, things can get complicated and confusing for users. This creates the need for a standardized solution for access to the online applications of all these agencies.

This solution is called CSAM.

Digital Municipalities - OSLO and CORE vocabularies

Standardisation is the buzz word we use to get lots of data connected.
In municipalities it starts as the closest contact to the citizen and as the organisation who defines the addresses in most countries.
And as we know it is the data around location and persons we most of the time work with in government.

In Flanders we started this difficult process of standardisation at the bottom, where it happens, the municipalities.
And we explained to regional, federal and Europe in an not so easy process with lots of resistance V-ICT-OR managed to deliver the OSLO model.

But also the model will be adopted now by the Flanders government and is used as an example in Europe.
This sessions leads you to the process, from start to adoption, what can you do in your city, your region, your country.

Put Your City on the Map!

OpenTransportNet is a European project designed to revolutionise the way transport related services are created across Europe. By bringing together open geo-spatial data within City Data Hubs and enabling it to be viewed in new easy to understand ways, OpenTransportNet will enable Public Sector users to gain insights from linking and visualising different data sets and be able to make better public service decisions based on the findings. The Flemish Region and the City of Antwerp are partners in this project and will show the first results.

Core vocabularies and their role in promoting semantic interoperability.

Digital City - Public organizations and startups: innovate together, building a city platform together

In May 2014, the city of Antwerp launched A-stad: a digital platform where the user plays a central role, and where services are offered via apps.  The same platform is used for the internal portal for the employees of the city: they log in with their employee-profile, and get access to completely other functionalities than a citizen or a visitor.  Also other local public organizations (such as the local police organization or the public center for social welfare) are building their own platform following the same principles.  Of course each platform has its own identity, and is orientated towards a specific target group.  But very quickly it became clear that there were plenty of common needs and wishes.   This was the rationale behind the concept of an Antwerp City Platform as a Service (ACPaaS).   ACPaaS collects and unlocks technical generic components that are needed for multiple applications on multiple platforms.  In that way, it is prevented that the same functionality is built over and over again.

For the creation of this innovative platform, Digipolis Antwerp co-operates with starters and startups.   To this end, a number of new, fast and lean procurement procedures have been introduced, within the legal boundaries of public procurement.  The first series of procurements for ACPaaS components have been launched and allocated.  The procurement procedures permit to develop innovative products, to import innovation in the Digipolis organization, and to professionalize specific events for starters or startups, such as hackatons and Apps for Cities.  The cooperation is a win-win.  Starters and startups can appeal to the expertise and experience of an established organization.  Digipolis Antwerp acquires the typical qualities of young entrepreneurs: dynamic, speedy, flexible, goal directed.

"Menno is an expert on digital leadership and has a good sense of humor which makes his presentations very entertaining." - Dennis Agusi, Global Internal Communications Manager, Philips

Menno Lanting has embarked on a journey to discover what the future holds for innovation, organizations and work. He engaged in discussions with a hundred inspiring professionals and entrepreneurs all over the world. And Lanting has succeeded in distilling many practical tips and useful insights from their cases and experiences. Now you, too, can learn the tricks of the trade from such diverse and important organizations as Airbnb, Audi, NASA, Netflix, Philips and the WWF.

“Speedboats are proactive, agile, look outside themselves, connected to a network, bring added value to the customer, citizen or co-worker, and never stop learning. This is in stark contrast to professionals and organizations who remain firmly anchored in the age of industry, they are the oil tankers,” I told a group of HR-directors. On the periphery of my vision, I could see one of the directors becoming more agitated by the second, wringing her napkin to virtual shreds. Finally she burst out: “But Menno, I do notice speedboats like that within my organization, but in reality most of them are in the process of leaving our company! What am I supposed to do with the huge grey mass of leftovers, who are sluggish to the end and cling to the unions and the works council in resistance?” The ensuing silence was deafening.

‘Menno has a gift for providing you with an absolute fountain of fresh insights which will produce an outburst of enthusiasm inside your mind.’ - Marc de Vries, Country Manager Twitter Benelux

Women in IT and other Socitm priorities

September 2015 marked the launch of Socitm’s ‘Women in IT’ initiative. The purpose of the initiative is, firstly, to showcase the incredible work and experience of some of the most senior women engaged in information technology/digital in the country, emphasising the importance of promoting and securing women in the profession. Secondly, the initiative will promote conversations, support, mentoring and research to equip women and the sector to take advantage of the benefit and value that workforce diversification brings. The session will also cover briefly Socitm’s priority work on public services re-design and digital transformation, health and social care integration and open systems.

Het Agentschap Informatie Vlaanderen zet in op de ontwikkeling van een stelsel van kwalitatieve basisregisters. Deze basisregistraties vormen een stelsel van onderling verbonden authentieke informatiebronnen, die het mogelijk maken dat overheden in Vlaanderen  gegevens vlot kunnen combineren.

Zes referentieobjecten treden hierbij steeds op de voorgrond: personen, ondernemingen, percelen, gebouwen, adressen en de kaart. Vanuit het programma Vlaanderen Radicaal Digitaal wordt met het gebouwenregister een belangrijke eerste stap gezet.
Basisregisters vormen de basis voor gegevensuitwisseling volgens OSLO, ‘Open Standaarden voor Linkende Overheden', in lijn met Europese informatiestandaarden. Dit zorgt er voor dat de gegevens vlot uitwisselbaar zijn binnen en buiten de overheid.
Dankzij een afstemming met internationale linked data standaarden en principes zullen overheden informatie van overheden in Vlaanderen vlot kunnen combineren met datasets op het wereldwijde web.

Vanuit het project VlaVirGem zet het Agentschap Informatie Vlaanderen samen met V-ICT-OR en VVSG in op een dialoog met- en ondersteuning van lokale besturen.
