PIES
Public Information Exchange Scheme
Feb, 2013PIES Team
Background
In the past, various systems have been developed. In order to foster “open government”, the Japanese government is now reviewing systems fundamentally.(e.g. code, vocabulary set etc) Citizens demand “Citizen centric” service Cooperation among systems is required Currently, the government is preparing "citizen ID and
enterprise ID ” To progress cross-government measures , Government CIO
was established on Aug 10, 2012 Activities and framework to aggregate “Open government”
are implemented now in Japan. It turns out to be higher demands for interoperability of data.
“Information Management ” is quite important in terms of information security.
Calling for standardized vocabulary set has been increasing from two purposes. To achieving interoperability of data across the government agencies To promoting “open data”

Basic concept of PIES
Prepare the framework enabling to exchange data, primarily vocabulary sets. Requirement
• Divide the domains into two.– core domain & business domain
• Unnecessary to reconvert exiting systems.• International interoperability • Utilize existing standards(e.g. DC, foaf, other vocabulary set) as much as
possible. Policy
• Prepare “core domain” in urgent• Test some business domains to find methods to introduce the framework.

Interoperability
International interoperability is highly considered in preparing PIES. Primarily considerations: vocabulary sets used in Japan and existing
vocabulary standards.

Problems and issues
Three different characters are used in Japan Kanji(Chinese character), kana, and alphabet
There are not many specialists in the field of information management in Japan.
→ very small number of practical specialists in semantic-web.
We should consider the steering committee and organization for operation and maintenance of PIES. METI leads PIES project in 2012 & 2013. The project work with IT strategic headquarter, MIC and other
organizations.

Similar project ( Japanese Character set Project “IPAmj” )
“IPAmj” is a successful project which concept is quite similar to PIES. Although its field of project is narrow and different, it can be exemplified as a good practice of similar model with PIES.
