Status: draft for consultation
1. Introduction
DWR 1.0 Purpose
The Digital Work Environment National Program (DWR) comes from the
National Renewal Program and is working on a digital work environment for
all civil servants of the thirteen ministries. In the digital environment
, all services and information of the official for his work
needs. He may eventually (in 2015) at any time, any place and
any device (PC, PDA and laptop) to safely dispose of the digital
information and applications that he needs for his work.
1.1 Purpose Production Line OpenDWR
The Production Line OpenDWR aims to:
     
1. development and management of the National Digital Work Environment
         
(DWR) to provide guidance in line with government policy on open
         
standards and open source software;
     
2. by use of generic ICT services, departments to facilitate
         
in the use of open standards and open source software.
1.2 Process
This version (0.9) of the Production Line of a draft prepared by DWR
is. The content is in line with first responses from departments and is now
presented for consultation with external parties: suppliers, communities and
other interested parties.
The comment period runs until March 1, 2010. The program welcomes your DWR

2 Principles and Activities OpenDWR
2.1 Principles
To achieve the above goals is to DWR from the following 4
assumptions.
                
1. Interoperability
                
Interoperability is the ability of (information) systems for
                
electronic data and information exchange
                
within and between organizations. To achieve the objectives of the
                
National Renewal, such as space and time independently
and the breaking of existing ducts, to achieve interoperability is crucial.
                          
2. Supplier Independence through Open Standards
                          
Purpose of the Production Line for the leveranciersafhanke -
                          
bility of reducing the national government. Supplier
                          
independence implies that one product of minimal
                          
possible product choices affect others. Open standard
                          
dards are critical for vendor independence.
Besides factors such as platform independence (eg web based
applications) and open source software a role.
                    
3.Gelijk field by open source software
                    
DWR wants all suppliers, including suppliers of open
                    
source software, provide equal opportunities. Programs Requirements
                    
Open source providers will not harm and when
                    
evaluation of offers will be sufficient expertise
present an open source based software offers good
assess.
These three principles form the basis for all products will OpenDWR
supply. The use, implementation and enforcement to the departments themselves
and will take place on the basis of compliance with the following principle.
                
4. Business Continuity
                
The continuity of departmental systems must not compromise
                
come. However, changes need to be put in motion in
                
Under the plan NOiV. DWR supports the departments
                
with best practices for implementation of the changes. Also,
                
departments rely on centrally delivered support
applying the changes indicated below.

2.2 Activiteiten1
The following activities are in order of priority highlighted in
consultation within the government.
                 
1. Open Workspace Guidelines
                   
DWR aims to Open Workplace Guidelines
                   
government to develop and manage. To achieve
                   
DWR participates actively in the Open Project Public Sector Workplace
   
by NOiV implemented.
   
The results of this project will be mid-2010 for public consultation
   
published. In later sections can then tender to the
   
crystallized Open Workplace Guidelines are made.
   
The guidelines provide principles and assumptions which guide to
   
future investments. The guidelines contain at least the following
   
components.
  
a. Modular architecture: it is a reference architecture for a
     
open workplace. This is not to re-think how a workplace
     
it should look like, but the architecture has the consistency of the
     
necessary components and detailed principles for such
     
platform independence and web-based applications based on
     
existing architectures and best practices with open workstations within the
     
government and beyond.
  
b. Identification of interfaces and open standards: based on the
     
architecture, the interfaces where relevant data
     
place identified. On the basis of the interfaces are relevant
     
open standards selected. This is made use of the lists
     
established by Executive Standardization. Missing relevant open
     
standards are submitted for inclusion on the lijsten.2 It will also
     
National Standardization Commission be involved.
  
c. Providing the 'recipe': implementation scenarios, guidelines
     
and guidance for adoption of generic devices or systems
     
platform independence and openness of systems to promote
     
collected or developed by DWR and available.
  
d. Collect examples: both national and international good
     
already many examples exist where thinking and development work done.
              
2. Open Directory & Identity Management
                
DWR is a draft of an open standards and open source
                
Open Directory based software that can communicate with the
               
Active Directory. This Open Directory can be used as replacement of the
     
current Active Directory if applied next. In conjunction with the
     
open directory is used to examine the open standards
     
for the reduced sign on feature in Identity Management. Also
     
whether an open source product can deliver the required functionality.

Production Line OpenDWR, Version: 0.9, Status: draft for consultation
The open standards (at least) to promote this: LDAP,
Kerberos.
        
3. Open templates
        
DWR version 1.0 from October 1, 2009 provides an Open Document Format
        
plug into standard. Together with the project 1Logo examines DWR
        
the ability to open a document generator
office to implement. The generator allows
standard templates in office to open, edit and to
beat. Besides the fact that the generator open document standards will
support the application under an open source license released.
The switch to the ODF standard will thus be simplified. The
open standard that promotes this: ODF.
       
4. Open E-mail
       
A government-wide e-mail facility is part of the original
       
DWR ambition. The management of DWR seeks an e-mail facility
       
based on open standards and open source software realm
achieve in 2010. The Ministries of Finance and Defense are a pilot
started. It looks DWR from up close. Open Standards that this
promoted: iCal, CalDAV, IMAPv4, POP3, SMTP.
        
5. Rollout OpenOffice and Firefox
        
Open Office and Firefox are on July 1, 2010 as part of DWR version
        
1.2 Availability be made to each department that the DWR-Client
        
unrolls. DWR supports as many browsers on the client and take
browser independence as a basis for development of the
Empire Portal. Inside DWR-Implementation capacity and budget is allocated
a pilot of one department to OpenOffice and Firefox to roll. Open
Standards that are promoted this: ODF and other Web standards.
        
6. Functionality Work Together
         
DWR is considering the possibility of eventually open source software
         
commitment to the continuity of the current
work together with collaboration functionality to users outside the
government to facilitate. DWR will give all the relevant open standards in
mapping.
          
7. Search software
          
DWR is preparing a study of innovation in search software
          
and review of open source software is deployed here.
           
8. Content Integration System
           
Departments can be both user and provider of its content.
           
Departments manage their resources in local content,
           
departmental systems. Finally, all publications to the
Empire Portal to go through the CIS. The CIS is mainly implemented
Reducing dependency on closed software in this domain to be.

Later publication other channels (including open source CMS'en)
follow.
              
9. Electronic Learning
              
By providing learning facilities for the departments
              
support the implementation of services will DWR DWR
              
like to benefit from the experience of the Tax open
              
source software in that field.
               
10. VOIP
               
The investigation into VOIP is actively looking at the
               
potential of open standards, open source software and
               
the confluence with OT 2010.
We thank you for your interest in our Production Line OpenDWR

3 Backgrounds
The Digital Work Environment National Program (DWR) is working on a digital
work environment for all civil servants of the thirteen ministries. In the digital
work environment, all services and information that
official for his work. He may eventually (in 2015) on each
time, any place and on any device (PC, PDA and laptop) in a safe
how have the digital information and applications for his work
needs.
DWR will make maximum use of existing experience in
departments, NOiV, ICTU and Standardization Forum in open
standards and open source software. It is the identification of
NOiV by departmental policy as the baseline. In addition, DWR
close cooperation with NOiV her own experiences and documenting
publish.
In assessing the tenders and offers to DWR will ensure
of expertise from the Office NOiV.
The Production Line for DWR gives direction to the implementation of open standards
and open source software. It is not a detailed plan of action with a plan
and financial accountability. To implement its resources in 2010.
Through the consultation aims DWR committed to these resources to best effect.
DWR can not independently achieve the intended objective. It is crucial that the
DWR program can count on the input of the program NOiV, the Forum
Standardization, the ministries and relevant parties in the environment, such as open source
communities and suppliers.

3.1. Current situation DWR
The following list shows the different products within DWR.
On October 1, 2009 is the first version of the National Digital Work Environment
(DWR 1.0) yielded. Version 1.1 followed on December 1, 2009. In 2010, still
two new versions (1.2 and 1.3) yielded.

Production Line OpenDWR, Version: 0.9, Status: draft for consultation
The DWR-Client 1.4.2010 is from six departments (max. 21,000
clients) rolled. The other workstations to be tendered. End 2015
all departments will use the generic ICT services for the
workplace.
The DWR products already delivered and the products under development,
obviously not meet this Production Line. After determining the
Production line, new products are going to meet.
3.2 Scope of DWR
The scope of DWR can be clarified using the following model.
This functionality is the term used as a set of functions by
ICT supported.
Used functionality can be separated using two dimensions. The first
dimension is about whether a function is applied to each
business function (ie generic functionality) or only one (limited number)
business functions (ie specific functionality).
The second dimension is about the extent to which the function is used:
by all employees (ie general purpose) or by a limited group
employees (I Table C. Use target bound).
This functionality is divided into four categories:
     
1. Generic functionality for general use,
     
2. Generic functionality for target-related use,
     
3. Specific functionality for general use,
     
4. Specific functionality for use bound audience.

Production Line OpenDWR, Version: 0.9, Status: draft for consultation
DWR is here within the categories of "generic general purpose" and
'generic bound target "and the necessary links with other
two categories.
The part specific functionality is still primarily the domain of the departments
at (or body parts).
The responsibilities of the commission are also along this
lines invested. Thus, the principal of Imperial CIO as responsible for DWR
the generic ICT and departmental CIOs are responsible for
specific functionality.
3.3 Resources
To achieve greater openness are two resources
decision.
                               
1. Open Standards
                     
Open
                               
With open standards involves agreements on information -
  
Closed source
                               
exchange. Characteristic of open standards is that
  
Software Software
                               
no barriers to the use of the standards by
                               
ICT users and ICT providers. Open standards are
                               
necessary to achieve interoperability and
    
Open Standards
                               
vendor independence. Open standards create
a plurality of infrastructure solutions, both open source and
proprietary software, allows without sacrificing the
torque ability.
For standards on "the list of open standards to comply or explain" the
Standardization Forum, is the comply or explain principle. "Apply" means that
organizations choose to purchase an IT department or an IT product
using a relevant application in the field to the list
mentioned open standard. "Explain" is that this only exceptionally
reasons may be waived. The national government is further detailed
Instruction in the Reich d.d. October 2008.3
Open standards create the foundation for DWR for more
supplier independence and interoperability objectives. DWR committed
adhere to the "comply or explain" principle. DWR will implement for each asset
search for relevant open standards. The monitoring this, the
architectural principles and the development of DWR invested.
2. Open source software
Open source software is software whose source code is freely available
which the licensee may see the source code, use, improve
complete and distribute. On open source software are no licensing
connected (or deployment and management as with proprietary software).

Page 10 of 12
                                   
Production Line OpenDWR, Version: 0.9, Status: draft for consultation
Open source software for DWR is an end in itself, but a serious option.
It contributes to the supplier to the independence and equal playing field
the software market. Are equally appropriate open source software will be preferred.
DWR has also paying particular attention to the following characteristics of
open source software.
        
Security: The accountability of the source code is open source
        
software have a positive impact on security.
        
Re: DWR is committed where possible to the state government in
        
-use open source software reuse.
        
Cost: DWR aims to contribute to cheaper
        
ICT for the national government. This play and the price of licenses
        
management costs a major role. Because open source software as a serious option
        
to take in tracks, there will be more potential suppliers and
        
to take the competition. DWR expects that this positive effect will
        
to the total ICT costs. DWR will be careful that any
        
savings on license offset by the cost of
        
implementation and management.
3.4 Approach
The model chosen for the realization of OpenDWR is a partly
based on seduction. DWR will provide helping hand to the departments
this in a most natural way possible.
These are some resources used:
    
1. Generic facilities: The activities in the previous chapter
        
described generically refer to applicable functionality. The
        
generic parts of the hands of departments to be created there
        
space to focus on their core business
    
2. Natural moments: As mentioned earlier migrations or
        
replacements scheduled at times that already are at issue.
    
3. Best practices: DWR does not reinvent the wheel and is actively
        
the battle of good examples available to reuse.
Investing in knowledge, knowledge sharing and reuse
Without knowledge about open source software and open standards is impossible
to make good choices. It is about change management knowledge, legal knowledge
and technical knowledge. DWR within the organization will invest in further
development of knowledge.
Assurance for the Future
DWR The program runs until the end of 2010. The management of DWR is
then transferred to the management organization that currently
designed. Participants will also be created RegieOrgaan for generic ICT
become. The management organization will be made to the software and register

classification of packets therein, to understand what facilities
should be made to fit the current registry to obtain the
introduction of an open workplace. For existing generic IT facilities
DWR follows the normal replacement cycle.
The monitoring and developing the Production Line will OpenDWR to this
organizations are invested.

Ok, I didn't phrase that very well. What I meant was, if there's enough enthousiasm, I'm sure a volunteer can be found for this :-)

I'll put my two cents in tomorrow, to sketch the outline.

Btw, I made a 'tiny' mistake, as an official response to the document should be given before the 1st of march, not before the end of march.
