National scheme - ENI interoperability

Introduction

Cooperation between the public administrations is essential to provide services to citizens and safeguarding their rights. Such cooperation requires conditions that allow its fluidity, for which it is necessary that interoperability. Interoperability facilitates principles and rights of citizens; cooperation in the development and delivery of public services; as well as greater efficiency and effectiveness in the deployment and in the provision of services.

Article 3 ‘ general principles ’ Ley 40/2015, de 1 de octubre, de Régimen Jurídico del Sector Público (Opens in new window) includes interoperability between the principles of action of public administrations, so that these intersect with each other via electronic means that ensure interoperability and security systems and solutions adopted by each, the protection of personal data, and facilitate preferably joint delivery of services to stakeholders.

El artículo 156 de la Ley 40/2015 recoge el Esquema Nacional de Interoperabilidad (ENI) que “comprende el conjunto de criterios y recomendaciones en materia de seguridad, conservación y normalización de la información, de los formatos y de las aplicaciones que deberán ser tenidos en cuenta por las Administraciones Públicas para la toma de decisiones tecnológicas que garanticen la interoperabilidad”.
El ENI fue establecido anteriormente en el artículo 42 de la Ley 11/2007 y se materializa en el Royal Decree 4/2010, of January 8th, that regulates the National Schema interoperability (Opens in new window) in the field of E-government.

The technical standards for interoperability specify details to facilitate the most practical and operational interoperability between public administrations and with the citizen. Are accompanied by implementation guides and other supplementary documents.

The ENI is the result of a work coordinated by the ministry of economic affairs and Digital Transformation. All public administrations participated in the elaboration of the ENI through the collegiate bodies with competence in the field of digital administration; and also counted with the opinion of associations of the industry of information technology and communications.

In the development of the ENI and their technical standards were taken into account the recommendations from the European Union, particularly from the European Framework of interoperability (Opens in new window) disponible a la fecha; por tanto, el ENI se ubica en el contexto europeo de políticas, actos, documentos y servicios relativos a la interoperabilidad; además, contempla la noción del enlace con los diversos instrumentos equivalentes del ámbito de la Unión Europea, sean redes de comunicaciones, componentes elementales (building blocks), o servicios para la cooperación en interoperabilidad o la reutilización.

Goals

The national Schema Interoperability has the following goals:

Understand the criteria and recommendations que deberán ser tenidos en cuenta por las administraciones públicas para la toma de decisiones tecnológicas que garanticen la interoperabilidad y que eviten la discriminación a los ciudadanos por razón de su elección tecnológica. Y que, por tanto, contribuyen a crear las condiciones necesarias para la interoperabilidad en el uso de los medios electrónicos que permitan a los ciudadanos y a las administraciones el ejercicio de derechos y el cumplimiento de deberes a través de estos medios.
Provide the common elements que han de guiar la actuación de las administraciones públicas en materia de interoperabilidad, para facilitar la interacción de las administraciones públicas, así como la comunicación de los requisitos de interoperabilidad a la industria.
Facilitate the implementation of security policies , al contribuir a un escenario de mayor racionalidad técnica y de economías de escala.

La interoperabilidad se concibe, al igual que la seguridad, desde una perspectiva integral, de manera que no caben actuaciones puntuales o tratamientos coyunturales, debido a que la debilidad de un sistema la determina su punto más frágil y, a menudo, este punto es la coordinación entre medidas individualmente adecuadas pero deficientemente ensambladas.

Elements of the National Schema interoperability

The main elements of the ENI are:

The basic principles of interoperability : interoperability as integral quality present from conception of services and systems and throughout their life cycle; the multidimensional nature of interoperability; and the approach of multilateral solutions. (Arts. 4 - 7)
Organisational interoperability : includes aspects related to the publication of services via the communications network of the AA.PP. ( SARA "href =" https :// administracionelectronica.gob.es/ctt/redsara "> Network SARA ), with the associated conditions; the use of nodes of interoperability; and maintain inventories of administrative information. (Arts. 8 - 9).
Semantic interoperability: through the publication and implementation of data models of exchange, horizontal and sectoral, as well as those relating to infrastructure, services and common tools. (10)
Technical interoperability: a través del uso de estándares en las condiciones previstas en la normativa para garantizar la independencia en la elección, la adaptabilidad al progreso y la no discriminación de los ciudadanos por razón de su elección tecnológica. (art. 11)
Infrastructures and common services elements of dynamization, simplification and spread of interoperability, while facilitating connection multilateral. (Art. 12)
Use preferably of the communications network of public administrations Spanish to communicate with each other and the connecting networks and interoperability nodes, using the Routing Plan administration . SARA "href =" https :// administracionelectronica.gob.es/ctt/redsara "> Network SARA provides the aforementioned Communications network. (Arts. 13 - 15)
Reuse: includes conditions of licensing of applications, the documentation associated and other objects of information that the AA.PP. made available to other administrations and citizens; liaison between the directories reusable applications and consultation by the AA.PP. of solutions available for free reuse; as well as publication of the code of applications. (Arts. 16 - 17)
Interoperability of electronic signatures and certificates: the policy of electronic signature and certificates of the General administration of the state as tool that can be used as a reference for other AA.PP.; aspects relating to the validation of certificates and electronic signatures, lists of confidence, user applications, service providers of certification and validation platforms of certificates and electronic signature. (Arts. 18 - 20)
The recovery and conservation of the electronic document, as a manifestation of interoperability over time, and that uniquely affects the electronic document. (Arts. 21 – 24)
Creates the technical standards for interoperability and the instruments for interoperability. (First Additional Provision)

Scope

El ámbito de aplicación del Esquema Nacional de Seguridad es el establecido en el artículo 2 de las leyes 39/2015 y 40/2015 sobre el ámbito subjetivo y lo indicado sobre el sector público institucional.

Alignment to the National Schema interoperability

To adjust the ENI is of interest Audit guide ENI compliance (Opens in new window) which aims to facilitate to enable an assessment of the implementation of the measures of interoperability, noting a list of controls on the National Schema of Interoperability. Such controls are divided into three categories following the model of ENS:

Organizational framework referring to those controls demanding horizontal measures, such as the legal aspects of action policies or certain decisions, often referred to the governance of interoperability.
Operational framework referring to those controls which requires practices, procedures and actions aligned with the administration of interoperability as a whole, including the design, implementation, configuration and exploitation of interoperable systems.
Technical measures , que suponen requisitos concretos que permiten garantizar la interoperabilidad, incluyendo formatos, vocabularios o protocolos.
