The legal basis for the technical interoperability standards is found in the Royal Decree 4/2010 of 8 January 2010 which regulates the National Interoperability Framework ('Esquema Nacional de Interoperabilidad' in Spanish - ENI).
Such standards are aimed at implementing concrete actions that are required for facilitating operational interoperability among public administration authorities, as well as between such authorities and the citizens. The authorities from all levels of government must therefore conform to the standards.
The seven standards published last July in the State Gazette cover the following fields:
- Digitisation of documents
- Electronic documents
- Electronic files
- The public administration's electronic signature and certificate policy
- Procedures relating to authentic copies and the conversion of electronic documents
- Requirements for connecting to the Public Administration network (Red SARA) interconnecting all levels of government in Spain
- Data models for the exchange of information between public registers
To facilitate the implementation of each of these standards, respective guides/user manuals targeted at the public authorities were published that provide explanations and orientations.
More technical interoperability standards are currently being prepared that will include:
- Catalogue of standards
- Data intermediation protocols
- Common data models in the Public Administration
- Electronic document Management policy
- Reuse of public sector information
