The Information desk application collaboration that combines multiple co-operating application components. It is a logic component that offers information to help DC and DP to perform the OOP exchanges. For IM And USI, It offers information to the DC for helping the user to locate the proper competent authority to provide the required cross-border evidence and for finding the routing information to do the request. The DP consults the information desk to establish that the DC is authorized/allowed to request some evidence type. Besides, the Information Desk can helps users and civil servants to understand cross-border evidence. For VC the Information Desk serves 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.

Application Components of the Information Desk
Application Component Description Pattern(s)
Data Service Lookup Application component for looking up the data service(s) that can be used to request an evidence.

In case of VC it returns the URL of the evidence portal.

IM, USI, VC
Service Registry Editor Application component maintaining the service registry. IM, USI,VC
Authorization Controller Application component to establish which evidence types can be exchanged between competent authorities and whether this is allowed under allowed under applicable Union or national law without user request and preview. IM, USI
Authorities Editor Application component maintaining the list of competent authorities and the relationships between those authorities and evidences. IM, USI
Evidence Type Translator Application component taking care of translating one type of evidence in MS of DC to other (potentially multiple), equivalent, type of evidence in MS of DP by using a mapping of evidences.
