From the interoperability service - Via Oberta of the AOC Consortium, work is being done on l'standardization of models to facilitate i streamline the authorization process a data queries from interoperable services, both in the l'scope of l'General Administration of l'State and the Generalitat of Catalonia.

The purpose of these standardized models is to allow a public administrations to justify in a regulatory manner the request for data that can be consulted within an administrative procedure i, thus avoiding requirements from the transferor.

Therefore, the specific content that must be indicated when filling out the Via Oberta form is offered, thus reducing time i and effort when it is necessary to justify l'access a the data that you want to consume for specific procedures.

1. What has been done? Analysis of current authorizations i proposal for models

As a a first step to achieve this objective, a review of the current authorizations has been carried out a from which a first block of thirteen standardized procedures is proposed.

  • What does a standardized procedure mean?

In order for the l'issuer of the data to authorize a to consume the service, a thorough analysis of the procedure must be carried out by the l'organization interested in a consuming the data, which includes:

a) Procedure identification - specify the administrative procedure within the framework of which the data query must be made. For example, “(2860) Application for parking cards for a people with disabilities”.

b) Regulatory justification - specify l'article of the regulations in which the need to consult the data is stated. For example, checking the level of income, the disability certificate, the benefits received; among others.

c) Legal basis that enables the consultation? depending on the type of procedure, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is a legal authorization, non-opposition o exceptionally, express consent. In these last two cases, it will be necessary to indicate the specific clause of the form in which the interested party can express their opposition, if applicable, o express consent; a moreover, it must include the data that can be consulted.

A standardized model is, therefore, a set of items where, a apart from identifying the types of queries that can be consulted within an administrative procedure, it incorporates the regulations that have been informed i reviewed by l'the Via Oberta team with l'the aim of saving this analysis to the interested bodies a consuming the data.

Finally, it should be mentioned that the first models proposed are on procedures that are regulated by basic regulations o common a to all Catalan administrations.

2. What is being done? Pilot project

In order to use these standardized models with all the guarantees, a pilot project is being carried out in which different local organizations participate with the support of the provincial councils and regional councils.

This pilot project consists of the following: each organization reviews the available models i selects one of the procedures to request l'authorization a l'the corresponding data issuer (DGP, DGT, Ministry of Justice, Generalitat de Catalunya, etc.) i verify that the content of these models is effectively validated.

The purpose is, therefore, that once these models are validated, the following authorizations are carried out more quickly, since they will be revised procedures i previously validated.

It is important to emphasize that, until the authorization model has been confirmed i approved by l the body issuing the data, it will be provisional.

Any news regarding the monitoring of these ongoing validations will be reported on the l'AOC blog so that it is available to a all interested parties.

Likewise, if you want to propose a specific procedure for a standardization, you can communicate it to the i promotion service from the Via Oberta service. An assessment will be made of its viability i and, if possible, it will be added to the catalog of standardized procedures.

In this sense, it must be borne in mind that the model chosen by each organization to carry out the pilot test must be on a procedure that is not authorized at the time of requesting l'authorization.

3. What will be done? No a an efficient model

The main advantage of this project to expand standardized models is that, a as the pilot models are validated by the issuers, the processing of authorizations will be considerably simplified, as there will be no need to carry out l'normative analysis i, a moreover, the response from the data provider will be agile a l'having been previously confirmed.

As mentioned before, the first models proposed are about procedures that are regulated in basic regulations o common a to all Catalan administrations.

However, the AOC Consortium wants to reach the most complex procedures regulated in specific regulations i, as a minimum, to provide the necessary indications on the articles to be searched a in the regulations.

Finally, l'the objective of this project is to move towards a a more efficient interoperability model , in order to minimize the level of administrative burdens on the organizations consuming Via Oberta data, without losing the security component i reliability that the service requires.

The standardization process aims to unify criteria i streamline processing by Catalan public administrations ú make effective the right of citizens a not to provide documents that are already in the possession of other administrations.
