SPOCS - Simple Procedures Online for Cross-Border Services
• 3rd Large Scale Pilot - CIP prog. • Implement and test interoperable eGov. services in the
context of the Services Directive.• Improve quality of cross-border electronic procedures and
points of single contact (PSC) for businesses.
EU Services Directive• procedures necessary to establish or exercise a service in
another Member State can be conducted electronically. • Member States had to establish PSCs, as electronic one-
stop shops for all service providers. • PSCs as intermediaries between the requesting service
provider and the national competent authorities.
Transfer of documents to European administrations in the scope of procedures
Online procedures Including the transfer of data (forms) and documents
Problems: Heterogeneity of documents Multilingual environment Document authenticity (signature and eSafe) Governance and distributed set of services

Omnifarious Container for eDocuments (OCD)
1. Payload Layer (document file)
2. Metadata layer, divided into
1. Metadata of the OCD (such as the sender and the receiver of the container)
2. Metadata that represent the document or payload, including in the best case an extraction of the value of information recorded inside the document (e.g., the birthdate for a birth certificate).
3. Authentication Layer
A set of common ontologies (OWL)
Document ontology to represent relations between documents, document types (e.g., birth certificates) procedures and equivalences between 2 documents in the context of a particular procedure
Creating equivalences between documents
Semantic mechanisms allow the system to infer equivalences and in some cases request users only to validate assumptions instead of manually creating them all.
Creating equivalences between documents

Using semantic data sources
The EBR registry, a set of Web services
Supporting the service directive with open data Editing and writing carried out through the CKAN software in version 1
Modeling of legislation
Investigated in the scope of the Travel Agent case in Poland and Luxembourg with the Carneades software.
Modeled conditions for authorization procedure to support civil servant in decision process.
Cases encoded with the support of Fraunhofer institute
Case study – Travel agent
Travel agent must hold a business permit.
Business permit is granted if:• the person responsible for the
operation or management of the business:
• meets the requirements in terms of qualification and professional integrity;
• can provide proof of mandatory guarantees and insurances;
• and the business has a fixed physical establishment in Luxembourg (no so-called 'letterbox companies').

Open source & free argumentation system
Web-based, collaborative software tools for:
• summarizing arguments of a debate in an argument graph
• visualizing, browsing and navigating argument graphs
• evaluating arguments• …

Conclusion
Connections with SEMIC/JoinUp Use of Business Core Vocabulary Experimentation of the Core Public Service Vocabulary Catalogue of European semantic assets (JoinUp), software
components (JoinUp) Towards a catalogue of public services?
eSens (ICT-PSP Pilot A) Towards governance mechanisms for semantic datasets Coherent semantic layer across multiple eGov piloting domains
