Handbook
This manual explains the main features of the I14Y interoperability platform. It contains numerous step-by-step instructions. It also provides technical details and background information on data harmonisation and standardisation.
The first chapter highlights the Roles and Processes in data management. The chapter Retrieve Metadata describes how to obtain information from the I14Y interoperability platform. The following chapter Publishing metadata explains how to publish descriptions of data sets, electronic interfaces and data elements on the platform. It also shows how the directory of government services is compiled.
The handbook also contains a Glossary with technical terms, a list with web links, an overview of the partner organisations as well as a Log of the most important changes that have been made to the platform.
