Bad experiences during the general election in November '22 has have shown a need to reconsider these integrations. Would it be more wise to use other integrations or have backup plans in case Serviceplatformen or FK Adgangsstyring is down. ? Therefore knowledge has been gathered from KOMBIT and experienced users of Serviceplatformen.

In Brian’s view the only thing gained using https://digitaliseringskataloget.dk/integration/sf1601 instead of a direct integration to Digital Post, is that each municipality won’t have to setup OS2valghalla as a new system in Digital Post. Instead we just need a few keys “keys” to be able to send on behalf of each municipality.

Mogens had a talk with Kasper Rubin, PO of CPR at KOMBIT on . There is a possible use of the so called and a following mail correspondence.
The focus was to clarify if “valgoplysninger” data in https://digitaliseringskataloget.dk/integration/sf6002. It was unclear what this data is used for and how consistent it is. Kasper will check with the CPR office and get back. are of any use for OS2valghalla 3.0. Kasper has checked with the CPR office to get more background on the data.
Valgoplysninger data:
(1) Udlandsdanskere
(2) Brexit – britisk statsborger.
(3) Udgået
(4) Herboende EU-borgere (ja)
(5) Danskere bosat i et andet EU-land (nej)
(6) Danskere bosat i et andet EU-land (ja/Kbh.)
(7) Nordatlant Afstemning (Kbh.)
(8) Nordatlant EP-valg (Kbh.)
This data is mainly about Danes living abroad and tells nothing about the general right to vote.
Kasper Rubin sends the following suggestion: “Mit bedste bud på en "godkendte vælgere til et givet valg", vil være en liste/udtræk direkte fra CPR, baseret på deres kriterier. Alternetiv skal I selv bygge det op omkring en logik baseret på hvor borgeren bor, hvor længe de har boet der, hvilket nationalitet de har, deres aldre, m.m.”
Getting more information on the “valgoplysninger” data he added: “Så der findes ikke en entydig kode i CPR registreret der viser om man har ret til at stemme eller ej. Det er en kombination, der selvfølgelig skal sammenholdes med den eksisterende lovgivning.”
Uptime experience and licenses
If the purpose of a system is right, it is not more or less difficult to use SF6002 instead of SF1520.
To his knowledge it was rare that the CPR integrations were affected by downtime.
Kasper suggested also looking into Datafordeleren as another possible integration for CPR data.
Terms and conditions for using Serviceplatformen
Mogens Kjeldsen (Unlicensed) has been in contact with Bjørg Tausen from KOMBIT regarding terms and conditions for using Serviceplatformen as a supplier on behalf of the municipalities.
This is possible as described in https://digitaliseringskataloget.dk/generelle-vilkaar-leverandoer . The hosting supplier will need to request each municipality for access to using the wanted service through a central administration module in Serviceplatformen:
For at kunne give en leverandør adgang til data udstillet via den fælleskommunale infrastruktur, kræves en godkendelse fra den konkrete og relevante myndighed i form af en Serviceaftale.
For det meste, vil det være leverandøren af Anvendersystemet - og ikke den enkelte myndighed, der har det detaljerede overblik over, præcis hvilke data, der er behov for, i det enkelte Anvendersystem. Hver service i den fælleskommunale infrastruktur har et specifikt dataindhold, og det er derfor leverandøren, der skal vurdere, præcis hvilke services der er behov for at anvende.
(..)
Det er derfor leverandøren, der opretter Serviceaftalen i Fælleskommunalt Administrationsmodul og heri angiver, hvilke myndigheder der ønskes data fra, samt hvilke services der ønskes adgang til. Serviceaftalen sendes herefter, via Administrationsmodulet, til den/de pågældende myndigheder, som herefter skal godkende om Anvendersystemet er berettiget adgang til de anmodede services.
This means it is possible to combine more services in one service agreement whereby the municipality should only be required to accept one agreement.
Test against Serviceplatformen
KOMBIT recommends that we find a municipality to work with on the test and to vouch for the project. If this is not possible, KOMBIT has the test municipality Korsbæk. Aarhus Kommune has agreed to becoming test municipality.
Customer knowledge
Henrik Brix
Mogens has been in contact with Henrik Brix, CIO in Favrskov Kommune and member of several public IT architecture boards including KL/KOMBIT Digitaliseringsrådet.
He reports that the new KOMBIT valg system will use FK Adgangsstyring and Serviceplatformen. As this system is even more crucial to the Danish elections, it’s hard to decide against using these integrations.
According to Henrik KOMBIT has a lot of focus on bring down the downtime as the infrastructure gets more and more important.
