“…Therefore, the VAN provider exactly knows, who and when has sent/received which messages via the VAN. Other solutions can be designed to solve the problem of receiver -non-repudiation. Here, we describe a partially decentralized solution (iv-b) as found in the nation-wide data exchange layer X-Road 19,20 [42-44], which is the enabling backbone of the Estonian e-government ecosystem, compare also with [45][46][47]34]. X-Roads is based on a PKI (public key inftrastructure) for nation-wide e-identities and digital signatures and therefore has a legally trusted CA that at the same time serves as legally trusted TSA.…”

Our aim is to understand technological and socio-economic barriers to blockchain solutions that are intrinsic in the blockchain technology stack itself (permissionless as well as permissioned). On the basis of that, we want to understand the future potentioal impact of blockchain technology. We provide an argumentation against the theoretical background of Williamson's instutional analysis framework, and triangulate the insights with results from four design science research efforts. We (i) characterize cryptocurrency as one-tiered collateralized money. We (ii) review potential blockchain solutions against defined essential modes of communications. We review (iii) well-known scalability issues and potential denial-of-service attacks through a new probabilistic model. We (iv) characterize a typical neglection of physical network infrastructure in blockchain technology discussions. We (v) describe four successful blockchain solutions and explain their design. There is (vi) no evidence that the proclaimed ``blockchain revolution'' can disrupt our institutional stack; instead, it can only happen in the boundaries of the current institutional stack. Nevertheless, it is possible to (vii) design useful blockchain solutions. The findings of this research enable policy makers, decision makers and information systems architects alike to make informed decisions about blockchain technology and its application. Given its theoretic foundation in new institutional economics, triangulated with comprehensive results from design science efforts, this study is the first of its kind in the area of blockchain technology research. <br>

“…5.1 The X-Road Data Exchange Platform X-Road [3,33,34,73,4,35,55, 61] 7,8,9,10 is the data exchange platform of the Estonian digital government ecosystem. X-Road is the only data exchange platform that is mentioned in the UN e-Government Survey 2020 [67]: "The data exchange platform in Estonia (X-Road) is administrated centrally to interconnect government information systems and databases and allow government authorities and citizens to securely send and receive information over the Internet within the limits of their authority.…”

The "digital transformation" is perceived as the key enabler for increasing wealth and well-being by politics, media and the citizens alike. In the same vein, digital government steadily receives more and more attention. Digital government gives rise to complex, large-scale state-level system landscapes consisting of many players and technological systems -and we call such system landscapes digital government ecosystems. In this paper, we systematically approach the state-level architecture of digital government ecosystems. We will discover the primacy of the state's institutional design in the architecture of digital government ecosystems, where Williamson's institutional analysis framework supports our considerations as theoretical background. Based on that insight, we will establish the notion of data governance architecture, which links data assets with accountable organizations. Our investigation results into a digital government architecture framework that can help in large-scale digital government design efforts through (i) separation of concerns in terms of appropriate categories, and (ii) a better assessment of the feasibility of envisioned digital transformations. With its focus on data, the proposed framework perfectly fits the current discussion on moving from ICT-driven to data-centric digital government.

“…Finland on the other hand has an ambitious e-health and e-care strategy to develop national patients' portal functionality. Data exchange with the European e-health systems are made possible through X-Road, which is a data sharing layer for public and private sectors [41]. This mechanism was initially intended for exchange of data between Estonia and Finland to allow the citizens to access to their medical records outside their country when a need arises.…”

“…Every healthcare provider in Estonia is responsible for ensuring that the neighbor health care provider does not fail in data protection since a failure in one system means failure of the whole interoperable system. Furthermore, all national cyber security processes are put under the Estonian Information System Authority (EISA) which also coordinate the national information system and all ICT related issues of the state including data communication and information security [41]. It adopts three-tiered reference security system to be used by the state and all local government and private agencies engaging in public services.…”

In this paper an insight on various e-health interoperable systems was reviewed to discover strengths and challenges faced during sustainable implementation. It covered local, national and regional coverage of integrated systems towards implementation of a single unified e-health system. Peer reviewed and grey literatures were consulted to discover global and local trend and efforts towards implementations of e-health interoperable systems. The available systems and frameworks from the European Union, Asia, America, Oceania and Africa were analyzed for their strengths and challenges. Various policies, guides as well as free and proprietary standards associated with e-health interoperability was reviewed to understand the common standards adopted by the majority of existing systems. The findings of the analysis are useful for policy makers on the best ways to implement interoperable systems in developing countries by focusing on the existing infrastructures and the environment. Similarly, the strengths and challenges encountered by interoperablesystems were also examined to provide recommendations for future studies.
