Case Study - Danish InfostructureBase
Project Scope
The Infostructurebase is a registry and repository used as a collaboration tool for the information society. The Infostructurebase is a part of the Danish e-Government Project and a strategic element in the architecture for e-Government. The main purpose and value is to support exchange and reuse of data related to public and private service delivery, including cooperation, business reengineering and alignment of related services.
The infostructurebase contains four sections:
- Infosite: An information site delivering information about standardization initiatives and communities.
- Repository: An international standards repository containing business process descriptions, datamodel descriptions, interface descriptions, complex XML schemas and schema fragments (information object) from public and private organizations.
- Forum: A Forum for discussions in relation to XML, Web Services and other relevant SOA issues.
- UDDI: A UDDI repository containing information on services.
Project Description
Paul Spencer assisted the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation in its procurement for this project.
The project was in two phases. The first of these was to review the procurement technical specification and recommend changes to ensure that the Danish Government gained the maximum benefits from its procurement. The second was to review the tenders and score each on its technical merits. The assignment resulted in a clear winner in the procurement, and recommendations for technical changes when it became time to implement the system.
