National Data Management (NaDB)

The FSO's National Data Management Programme (NaDB) promotes common standards for the multiple use of data in public administration. The main aim is that people and businesses should only have to provide certain details to the authorities once (once only principle).

The measure supports the semantic interoperability of data. The primary aim is to enable the data to be reused. This is to be achieved by consistently describing the same content in the same way, thereby data can be exchanged between administratives offices and used for different tasks.
