Information Desk
The Information desk application collaboration combines multiple co-operating application components. It offers generic functionality used by DC and DP to facilitate the OOP exchanges. It offers functionality to do the cross-border evidence matching, i.e. using an evidence map, mapping required evidences to equivalent evidences in another MS. The DC uses the information desk to lookup routing information, i.e. where to request a piece of evidence. DC can use it to do a legal basis check in case no user request or approval is needed. The DP consults the information desk to establish that the DC is authorized/allowed to request some evidence type.
For VC the Information Desk erves as a supporting mechanism for the User, which can help him find the relevant VC issuer (i.e. possible DP) in case he is missing any evidence for the procedure. The information desk functionality is achieved through the collaboration of several application components. The Data service lookup component provides an interface to the eProcedure, where the User can retrieve the list of competent authorities (i.e. DPs) within a given geographic area for the evidence he is missing. The list is obtained by reading the entries from the Service registry, which communicates with the Authorization controller to register any changes in the Competent authorities list and the Authority to evidence matrix.
