Administration System of the State Information System
The objective of Administration System of the state information system (RIHA) is to ensure the interoperability of public sector information systems and the re-use of technical, organisational and semantic resources, so as to give a clear view of the state’s registers and services provided by them.
The creation and maintenance of government databases is governed by the Public Information Act of 2007, which establishes an administration system for state information systems (RIHA), where all the databases and information systems must be registered.
RIHA includes metadata about existing public sector databases – from the information on the administrators of the databases to the eServices offered and the technical data concerning the environment/platform. Registration in RIHA is web-based; the user is authenticated and permissions given by using the national electronic ID Card.
In the same web-based environment requests to other information systems can be made in order to launch a new X-road based service. RIHA additionally administers two supporting systems of state registers, i.e. the system of classificators and the address data system. The system of integrated registers enables to apply new principles of administrative arrangements: citizen-orientation, flexibility, swiftness as well as cost and time effectiveness for both the citizen and the state.
RIHA was expected to fully begin operations by the end of 2007. Once ready, it will be used to administer the X-Road and serve as a tool enabling the performance of the following activities: to obtain information about existing services as well as those under development; to apply for the right to use a service; to propose the creation of a new service; to use data services; to administer in-house access rights; to ensure legitimate use of data services.
