OOP Enabling Infrastructure
Appetizer
The Interoperability Centre (IC) aims at the interconnection and integration of the electronic public services based on the once only principle. The core of the IC is an Enterprise Service Bus, which provides the infrastructure for the installation and reuse of web services.
OOP aspect
The utilisation of the installed web services facilitates the interchange of data (24 hours/day, 7 days/week) between the Ministry of Finance, where the IC has been installed, and other public administration organisations. Thus, OOP, interoperability, the reuse of data and the reuse of web services are promoted. Examples of web-services installed at the IC that could potentially facilitate an OOP case are the following:
• Confirmation of a citizen's details, provided by the Ministry of Finance
• Request and receipt of a citizen's criminal record, provided by the Ministry of Justice
• Confirmation of a citizen's details, provided by the Ministry of Finance
• Request and receipt of a citizen's criminal record, provided by the Ministry of Justice
Short summary
The Interoperability Centre (IC) of the Ministry of Finance is an Information System that has been developed by the General Secretary of Information Systems and Administrative Support. Its main objective is the interconnection and integration of the electronic public services based on the once only principle. The core of the IC is an Enterprise Service Bus – ESB, which provides the infrastructure for the installation and reuse of web services. The utilization of the installed web services facilitates the interchange of data (24 hours/day, 7 days/week) between the Ministry of Finance, where the IC has been installed, and other public administration organisations. Thus, interoperability, the once only principle, the reuse of data and the reuse of web services are promoted. The IC aspires to become the “hub” of Greek public administration. It puts emphasis on data security and thus provides a secure electronic environment for uninterrupted operation. Operational or administrative data are not stored by the IC, in order to ensure the protection of personal or other classified data.
The components of IC are a module for the management of interoperability requests by public organizations; the electronic platform for the management and support of web services (Enterprise Service Bus-ESB); the common guide for the implementation of web services; and the policy for the correct (legal) usage of web services.

Socio-cultural influence factors
The project reinforces data reusability, data accessibility based on the adoption of privacy rules as well as high security standards, monitoring of every data operations, monitoring of public administrations applications for data provision and data exchange. The benefit is that I.C. works like a data hub for all members of Greek public administration through hosting and provision of web services into a single point. It assures a unified manner of data exchange through all parties of Greek public sector as well as other involved parties (such as banks, companies etc).

Architecture
Data interchange between public administration organisations could be achieved by either of the following mechanisms:
1) sharing of data (access by secure environment for officials only),
2) provision of data linkage and orchestration through web service combination when building compount services.
