Estonian IT Interoperability Framework

Documents, articles and presentations in English:

Other documents:

The documents of the Interoperability Framework describe the main principles of the state IT interoperability. Documents related to the state IT and interoperability framework have to be elaborated in a co-ordinated manner and according to common principles. To this end, the following mechanism will be used:

  • The initiator of an interoperability document (any central or local government agency) draws up, with the assistance of experts, a draft of the document and launches a public consultation on it.
  • The document is published for consultation on the website of the Department of State Information Systems (RISO) at: http://www.riso.ee. Together with RISO, the initiator informs other stakeholders about the publication of the document. Stakeholder comments are published on the web. A month later, the initiator of the document reviews all the received comments and responds to them on the web. Depending on the type of the document, organisations representing the public, private, and third sector, as well as individuals can participate in the consultation.
  • Based on the received feedback, the initiator then prepares a new version of the document, which is again published on the RISO website. In case no further substantial comments are made to it, the initiator draws up a final version of the document. After the document has been approved by RISO, it is considered final.
  • All interoperability documents are open for comments all year round. The initiator of the document is obliged to review it at least once a year and update it as necessary.
