WSO2Con EU 2015: Implementing National Interoperability Platform The Government of Republic of Moldova has been implementing an interoperability platform, named MConnect, to facilitate data exchanges between government entities. MConnect is the core of the process for public services re-engineering, since it allows streamlining public services delivery, both, for citizens and businesses, as well as optimizing internal governmental business processes. MConnect is a technological solution based on the WSO2 stack and provides the foundation for implementing the e-Transformation Agenda of the Government. This session describes the implemented solution. Presenters: Artur Reaboi Enterprise Architect, e-Government Center of Moldova Iurie Turcanu Chief Technology Officer, e-Government Center of Moldova

11. Legal
Framework
• GD
nr.
656
on
Approving
the
Interoperability
Framework
Program
– defines
the
concept
and
delineates
interoperability
layers:
organiza'onal,
seman'c
and
technical
– defines
an
ac'on
plan
and
responsibili'es
• GD
nr.
404
on
Pilo'ng
the
Interoperability
Pla3orm
– lists
the
par'cipa'ng
ins'tu'ons
– sets
up
the
expected
ac'ons
during
pilo'ng

12. Technical
Challenges
• Reduced
'me
to
connect
to
data
sources
• Ensuring
data
security
and
confiden'ality
• Unprecedented
scalability
• Ensuring
data
integrity
in
a
distributed
environment
• Ensuring
enough
flexibility
to
connect
different
technologies
• Ensuring
enough
compa'bility
to
transform
between
different
data
models
• Monitoring
and
complex
journaling
