Welcome to the SDG-search-service-model wiki!

This wiki will be the source of collaboration between Member States and the European Commission representatives and experts. In this wiki you will be able to find:

  • All relevant documentation regarding the SDG Search Service model (The SDGR analysis, the model itself, etc.).
  • The issues page, where the model can be discussed by adding issues or replying to existing ones. This could be 'technical issues' but also 'business issues', looking into the added value of this activity. At the moment all open issues are from the modelling exercise from 2019-2020 and can be used as inspiration and reference for new issues from the modelling exercise in 2021. From the moment the list of concepts has been agreed to be modelled in the modelling exercise of 2021, the editorial team will review the different existing issues to address the relevant ones and close the others.
  • The context of this action, to be found on this wiki page.
  • Contact details of the team, to reach us directly, also to be found on this wiki page.

SDG Search Service model approach

An initial proposition for an SDG search service model was proposed in 2019-2020 by the ISA² Catalogues of Services team. Currently in 2021, we are focusing on specific use cases of improving the findability, reusability and quality of information provided on the Your Europe portal. By working in a pragmatic way and starting from a limited set of the most important concepts to be modelled, focusing on article 9,10 and 11 of the Regulation. The result will be a data model with a few concepts with the goal of later being implemented by the Member States for the Your Europe portal. The analysis from 2019-2020 can be used as a reference.

ISA² develops IT solutions for public administrations, businesses and citizens. (Link)
The Catalogue of Services action (Link):

  • Builds and communicates the business case for semantic and technical interoperability;
  • Develops a public service data model (CPSV-AP);
  • Develops tools to map, describe and harvest public service descriptions;
  • Builds a community of both business and technical experts to create concrete, mature and supported solutions for the Member States.

Why creating an SDG Search Service model?

The SDG Search Service model is created to capture all important information requirements from the Single Digital Gateway Regulation (SDGR), in order to fulfill multiple goals:

  • Improving the findability, reusability and quality of the information provided on the Your Europe portal;
  • A cost-efficient way of sharing public service (meta)data with the Repository of Links;
  • Compliance with the SDGR;
  • Providing the Member States with this information so that not all Member States need to do this;
  • Structuring public service information in a way that could be reused for future applications (e.g. chatbot, profiling);
  • Providing a flexible data model that could be easily adapted and/or extended to evolving needs.
