Project No 2.2.1.1/21/I/001 "Data dissemination and management platform (DAGR)"

The Society Integration Foundation as a cooperation partner participates in the implementation of the project "Data dissemination and management platform (DAGR)" No 2.2.1.1/21/I/001 (hereinafter - the Project) of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development.

Overarching objective of the project

Improving information exchange and interoperability in public administration, and making data available with guaranteed access times. The project will enable public administrations to aggregate data from potentially all public authorities into a single data dissemination platform that data consumers can use to retrieve real-time data from source systems. 

Project objectives:

1. Provide a unified and high-speed data distribution solution or Data Aggregator Solution (DAGR) to improve the performance of heavily used data requests;
2. Develop a self-service system for the management of data authorisations between data providers and data recipients to ensure transparent management of the authorisations process between data recipients and data providers and the establishment of agreements within the system to enable or disable access to the DAGR data dissemination package down to the attribute level;
3. Establish a single auditing mechanism for data circulation;
4. Develop a solution to support the management of target funding allocation;
5. Develop the Territorial Development Planning Information System (TDPIS) to be used as an integrated data environment for the preparation of spatial development planning documents.

Main activity of the project

The project will implement the following main activities:

1. Project management, implementing project activities within a defined budget and timeframe, thus ensuring that project objectives and results are achieved.

2. Development of a high-speed data distribution solution (Data Aggregator Solution - DAGR). By connecting to the DAGR, national registries and information systems will be provided with a single, centralised data dissemination platform optimised for high performance in processing data requests.

3. Development of a Targeted Funding Performance Management Platform (MAP). A solution will be developed to provide a complete funding management lifecycle from client application to final report approval and project closure, where data is shared and replicated between accounting and record-keeping systems.

4. Improvements to the TAPIS platform and transformation of the user support process. The development of TAPIS will increase the degree of computerisation of spatial planning processes, thus completely moving away from the current manual approach of coordinating documentation between stakeholders. User support processes will be further streamlined, thus significantly easing the burden of day-to-day system maintenance administration.

5. Project publicity through mandatory publicity measures, posters and websites.

Project outputs:

1. 8 operational processes improved/established;

2. 3 platforms developed or implemented, including two new platforms, DAGR and MAP, and one platform, TAPIS.

In addition to the project output indicators, the project will have the following outcomes:

1. A self-service system for granting data authorisations is developed.

2. Project publicity (11 information posters), up-to-date information on project implementation on www.varam.gov.lv, www.vraa.gov.lv, www.pmlp.lv, www.izm.gov.lv, www.bti.gov.lv, www.vdeavk.gov.lv, www.vzd.gov.lv, https://www.sif.gov.lv, https://www.iem.gov.lv, https://lzp.gov.lv/, https://www.lnb.lv websites (11 pieces).
