Project background
Digital Agenda for Europe
Regulatory barriers should be eliminated to facilitate crossborder use of commercial and cultural digital content and
services and to enable citizens and businesses to fully benefit
from the European Single Market.
Other important policies:
European eGovernment Action Plan 2011-2015
The European Interoperability Framework
"Title" (You can change this in the menu "Insert-> Header and Footer")
Large Scale Pilots (LSP)
Large Scale Pilots support Digital Agenda
implementation in key areas. They archieve
interoperability between existing national IT systems
in different domains.
e-SENS will build on existing solutions to further
develop Digital Single Market

e-SENS building blocks
Building Block - re-usable component of business,
IT, or architectural capability that can be combined
with other building blocks to deliver architectures
and solutions.
"Title" (You can change this in the menu "Insert-> Header and Footer")
Building Blocks consolidation
Consolidation is based on the LSP building blocks and domains
use cases and requirements. e-SENS project checks the possibility
of build a generic solution applicable for different domains. In the
same time e-SENS has to ensure sustainability of this solution and
conformity with standards.
European Interoperability
Reference Architecture
European Interoperability Reference Architecture (EIRA) is a four-view
(technical, semantic, organisational, legal) reference architecture for delivering
digital public services (across borders and sectors).
EIRA defines the required capabilities for promoting interoperability as a set of
Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs).
Solution Architecture Template (SAT) is a specification containing a sub-set of
ABBs of the EIRA. It focuses on the most salient building blocks needed to build
an interoperable solution addressing a particular interoperability need. A SAT
consists of: a goal and description, a set of EIRA ABBs, a set of requirements &
recommendations (linked to ABBs).
e-Delivery and e-Interaction
e-Delivery
• the process to take (store) and hand over (route and
forward) business data and evidence asynchronously,
securely and reliably
e-Interaction
• an approach to exchange information between two
parties which implies a requirement of a direct response
(from user perspective) of another end entity via an open
end-to-end communication link
Non
Repudiation
• services that are mandated to generate, collect, maintain,
make available and validate evidence concerning a
claimed event or action in order to resolve disputes about
the occurrence or non-occurrence of the event or action

Protocol

e-Document, Process
and Semantics
e-Document
• any electronic document, structured or
unstructured, which supports various formats
and it supports functionality that fulfils a set of
generic, domain or use case specific requirement
Process
• provides methodology used to describe process
in a matter suitable for cross organizational
interoperability including aspects such as
business rules, and capturing of requirements
Semantics
• concepts and tools to make machineunderstandable descriptions of data, programs,
and infrastructure enabling computers to reflect
on these artefacts

Identity, Security and Trust
e-ID
• e-ID management system is primarily about authentication
through digital identity (e-ID), i.e. to allow a legitimate user to
securely identify through one or more identity attributes
e-Signatures
• services to enable cross border recognition and validation of eidentification and signature - both signature-creation and
signature-verification are addressed.
Trust services
• technical means to establish trust in and between IT-Systems
involved in cross-border / cross-solution electronic transactions
Traceability
• set of tools and techniques aimed at following paths and
footprints of e.g. users, transactions, and software agents
• service trusted by one or more entities to provide “attributes”
associated to a digital identity (i.e. specific data characterising
this identity that may be a natural or a legal person)
