A National Data Platform for interoperability between Public Administrations
The project of the Department for Digital Transformation, part of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, and of PagoPA S.p.A. enables the exchange of information between public bodies and the Public Administration and facilitates the interoperability of public databases and IT systems.
The investment aims to ensure the full interoperability of key datasets and services across central and local public administrations.
Specifically, the integration of universities into the platform ensures the interoperability of their IT systems and the sharing of the data, career and qualifications of those who attend university.
This will be achieved through a central catalogue of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) which allows for the sharing of information between central Public Administrations and universities.
The advantages of the National Digital Data Platform (PDND)
- Administrative effectiveness: it will streamline information exchanges between Public Administrations, ensuring that both people and businesses provide their information only once (according to the once-only principle).
- Interoperability and data security: it will serve as a secure and interconnected environment for public bodies, to facilitate data use with the data subject’s consent.
- Development opportunities: it will foster the digitisation of companies, opening up new opportunities for growth through an efficient use of data and digital services.
