Summary

This is a mock api that represents the dutch government agency Digid. It can be used for testing / to build proof of concepts and is developed by Novum Innovatie Lab as part of the "Een overheid project". These files make part of a larger system that can be installed as a whole or as individual components. For more info please check out the documentation: https://docs.demo.novum.nu.

Background

From an article of the Dutch Ombudsmen about the government and its relation with civilians one important conclusion was drawn. In summary the conclusion is that civilians would like to have a single point of contact when dealing with the government. When realizing such a scenario, several questions or problems arise such as how to deal with privacy, how could this be implemented, how to manage information streams, who will get access to what etc.

Other systems

Several other mock systems available, see the list below.

Try / have a look

If you wish to have a look at the system, the API's are reachable trough the public internet or via NlX. The respective admin panels are also available on the public internet. Please contact us if you would like to peek around. We are happy to generate a login for you.

Installation

If you wish to do your own installation, the best starting point would be to install the demo system. Instructions can be found here:

Een overheid / one government

In order to gain experience and be able to say something meaningful on this subject the {{initiator_link}} started an experiment called “1 overheid”. In which a single government service would be fully realized utilizing mock API’s as the government services and have the communication follow the common ground principles while utilizing NlX as a secure layer for intra governmental data exchanges.

Contribute

It would be great if we could make these systems more realistic in terms of data and datamodel or extend it's functionality. Please feel free to submit a pull request or contact us whenever you feel like doing a contribution in any way.
