Description

*Please note that this event will look at OOTS Common Services, as opposed to the ‘Once-Only’ Preview space, as initially announced

The first part of this online event will look at the OOTS Common Services. The Commission and Member States offer interoperability solutions that are necessary for the proper execution of the evidence exchange process:

• The Data Service Directory (DSD), a catalogue of Evidence types that the evidence providers can provide upon request. It is used in the Evidence Exchange process by the evidence requesters to discover the evidence providers that can provide the evidence they require;
• The Evidence Broker (EB), an authoritative system that maps specific data sets as evidence types that prove specific requirements. The evidence requester consults the EB to find which types of evidence can be requested as evidence for a specific Evidence Subject, taking into account the subject's location and/or jurisdiction;
• The Semantic Repository (SR) is a common service that acts as a data portal for OOTS, storing commonly agreed information models grouped by domain, providing them under multiple representation techniques.

The second part of this event is an opportunity to learn more about how to prepare for the first of the 2023 OOTS Projectathons, taking place 19-21 April 2023.

The OOTS Projectathons enable national teams to pair up with others to run tests, using different actors, roles and testable profiles to check the status of their Once-Only Technical System implementation.

Registrations are open until 3 March. Participation is limited to the national teams implementing the Once-Only Technical System. If you have a question about participation, please contact us.
