> Although there are many cross-border public services in the EU, citizens > and businesses are still not receiving them in a seamless and efficient > way. When citizens of one member state receive services in another, the > necessary exchange of data is often hampered by incompatible data standards > and specifications. *Core Vocabularies* help describe data entities by > defining their core components. When applied in IT systems, these Core > Vocabularies make data easier to reuse and share and can be used as a > starting point for developing new electronic government (e-Government) > services, helping to enable interoperability between widely different IT > systems across sectors and borders. > > Three core vocabularies have been developed by the Core Vocabularies > Working > Group<https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/core_business/document/core-vocabularies-working-group-members>following > a process > and > methodology<https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/elibrary/document/isa-deliverable-process-and-methodology-developing-core-vocabularies>based > on W3C’s best practices. More than 60 people of 21 EU Member States > have participated in the Core Vocabularies work. The Core Vocabularies were > released for public review on February 17 2012, during which over 20 > comments were received. Version 1.00 of the specifications, expressed in > UML, XML, and RDF formats, was released to the general public on 11 May > 2012 and includes the following: > > 1. Core Business > Vocabulary<https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/core_business/release/100>: > this specification enables interoperability among business registers and > any other ICT based solutions exchanging and processing information about > businesses. The task force responsible for this vocabulary was chaired by > DG MARKT/F2, involved in the European Business Register project; > 2. Core Location > Vocabulary<https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/core_location/release/100>: > this specification enables interoperability among land registers and any > other ICT based solution exchanging and processing location information. > The task force was chaired by JRC/H6 Digital Earth and Reference Data; > 3. Core Person > Vocabulary<https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/core_person/release/100>: > this specification enables interoperability among people registers and any > other ICT based solutions exchanging and processing information about > people. The task force was chaired by Eurojust. Eurojust promotes > interoperability in the judicial domain via the EPOC IV project. > >
