Webinar: The role of Organisational Interoperability in the context of Geospatial and Digital Government Transformation

On 11 February 2020, 14:00 CET, the ELISE Action of the ISA² Programme is organising a webinar "The role of  Organisational Interoperability in the context of Geospatial and Digital Government Transformation". 

About the webinar

According to the European Interoperability Framework (EIF), organisational interoperability “refers to the way in which public administrations align their business processes, responsibilities and expectations to achieve commonly agreed and mutually beneficial goals.” This concept encompasses aspects linked not only to the alignment of business processes and organisational relationships but also to formalised data exchange agreements, all of which are relevant to the location interoperability focus of the ELISE Action. In the past few years, the development of interoperable Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) under the INSPIRE Directive has involved organisational interoperability aspects, aiding collaborations between data providers and more formalised ‘sharing and reuse’ approaches.

Today, the process of digital government transformation, which constitutes a range of “fundamental changes” for public authorities (see definition of Zhang et al., 2014), also has a number of impacts in terms of organisational interoperability, for example by making organisational relationships more complex through the involvement of new stakeholders and new processes. Recently, the study on the role of SDIs for Digital Government Transformation has helped to highlight some examples of how organisational interoperability intervenes in this new context and for the development of location-based public services and policies.  

Building also on previous work, this webinar will shed light on what organisational interoperability means from a digital government transformation perspective and for Spatial Data Infrastructures in Europe. By looking at current organisational interoperability challenges in the geospatial data and digital government transformation domains, this webinar aims to start a process of scoping and reflection on these currently separate topics, to discuss their implications with practitioners and to gather emerging good practices and solutions for possible sharing and reuse.
