“…Especially, technical and interoperability issues are recognized among the most challenging problems for cross-organizational information systems due to their reliance on heterogeneous information and process models [25]. The challenges for the uptake of the OOP in a cross-border context not only stem from the type and the quality of data and underlying processes of data collection and retention, but also from noncompatible ICT infrastructures or differences between concepts and meanings of data (semantic interoperability) and interoperability on both national and international level [6,34]. Interoperability is a key element for the success of implementing the OOP within a Member State as well as implementing it across borders.…”

“…Interoperability is a key element for the success of implementing the OOP within a Member State as well as implementing it across borders. It can be defined as the "ability of different organizations to interact towards mutually beneficial and common goals, which involves the sharing of information and knowledge by means of the exchange of data between their respective ICT systems" [6,34]. Besides applicable to technical aspects, interoperability can also apply to semantics, legal issues and organizational aspects [11].…”

“…Concerning technical interoperability, heterogeneity of ICT systems and the lack of national interoperability and national systems not meeting the OOP requirements are obstacles that affect EU-wide implementation of the OOP [6,34]. Regarding semantic interoperability, the main challenge is to enable semantic interoperability between the IT systems of different governments on both a data-structure and data-label level (how are categories filled, what data formats are used etc.)…”

“…The OOP is a high-level policy objective and is mentioned as one of the principles stemming from the eGovernment Action Plan [9]. Such overarching principles need technical building blocks to put high-level principles in practice, but also, in turn, influence the effectiveness of policies: "Pilot socio-technical systems are used to prove the viability and the feasibility of some policy objective that requires the usage of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) platforms in order to be attained" [34]. As part of our action research approach, we set up a series of focus group sessions throughout the project in which we invited project partners to jointly discuss impacts assessment and indicators.…”

The Once-Only Principle

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Once-Only Principle (OOP) holds that public administrations ideally collect data from citizens and businesses only once to share this information, within regulatory limits, with other administrative bodies and across Member States. The aim of the OOP is to simplify interaction with public services and contribute to administrative burden reduction. To demonstrate the cross-border application of the OOP for businesses, the Large Scale Pilot European project ‘The Once Only Principle Project (TOOP)’ develops pilots and identifies benefits and challenges as well as (potential) impacts of the adoption of this principle. In this chapter, we explore an Impact Assessment framework for measuring the impact of the OOP on cross-border services for businesses and subsequently validate this framework with members from the TOOP project. During stakeholder sessions organized for this purpose, we find that the OOP potentially has a high impact on government, e.g. by enabling fraud reduction, yet little is known about the impact of the OOP on businesses, and in particular on its cross-border impact. The expected benefits of the OOP likely emerge on the longer term, making identification of short-term impacts challenging. Nonetheless, based on our findings, we recommend to develop and implement methods and tools to measure the impact on the long-term to increase sustainability of the OOP.

“…TOOP aims to provide a generic federated architecture that can connect different registries containing base data and Digital Government architectures in various countries by applying standards Krimmer et al (2017). Thus far, various European countries have started to implement TOOP at the national level, but its cross-border implementation is still fragmented and limited Tepandi et al (2019).…”

System architecture plays a crucial role in the establishment of Digital Government infrastructure. Over recent decades, various architectures have been introduced by scholars for the establishment of Digital Government infrastructure. However, there is no uniform agreement on Digital Government architecture concepts required for Digital Government infrastructure. To more thoroughly examine the Digital Government architecture introduced in this article, we collected 103 papers published between 2003 and 2020 retrieved from five leading literature databases. To conduct our research, we followed best practice scholarly accepted guidelines for researchers. Per the guidelines, we formulated research questions and employed an approach based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to meet our research goals. Our study found evidence that there is a lack of knowledge in terms of the state-of-the-art in Digital Government infrastructure and its challenges concerning existing Digital Government architectures. We identified a set of primary Digital Government architecture characteristics and building blocks on which the Digital Government infrastructures are built. These components are meant to improve the design of future Digital Government systems and applications. Furthermore, our research revealed a need for designing a reference architecture to provide government organizations with the best practice knowledge of already existing Digital Government architectures.

The Single Market is one of the cornerstones of the European Union. The idea to transform it into a Digital Single Market (DSM) was outlined several years ago. The EU has started different initiatives to support this transformation process. One of them is the program Horizon 2020 to support the process from a technical point of view. In parallel to this, initiatives were started to set up a sound legal framework for the DSM. The Single Digital Gateway Regulation (SDGR) is an outcome of these initiatives. The key aspect of the SDGR is the underlying Once-Only Principle (OOP), outlining that businesses and citizens in contact with public administrations have to provide data only once. “The Once-Only Principle Project (TOOP)” is the EU-funded project initiated for research, testing, and implementation of the OOP in Europe. The authors give an overview of the research questions of the different parts of TOOP. Besides that, they introduce the other chapters of this book and what the reader can expect as the content of them.
