In Ukraine, a register of registers will be created, - Ministry of Digital Transformation

There are over 350 state registers functioning in Ukraine. The government plans to consolidate the information about them into a single system called the "register of registers".

This was stated by the director of the Directorate of Electronic Registers of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Oleksandr Zakusylo, in a comment to Hromadske reported.

According to him, the new register will serve as a sort of directory for citizens and public officials. The system will have an interface accessible to both citizens and employees of governmental bodies.

"Basically, if you have ever used a library catalog, it’s similar. It will be a description of all state registers and systems they are integrated with, providing a brief overview: what the system was created for, what data sets are stored in it," explained Zakusylo.

The register is expected to help citizens find where the data they need is stored more quickly, and allow government bodies to interact more efficiently. Integration of the register with the "Trembita" system, which ensures electronic interaction between governmental bodies, is also planned. This will enable state institutions to understand what data is available and where it can be obtained.

According to Zakusylo, the project is currently in a testing phase, and work is being done on a comprehensive information security system (CISS). Although open data will be available in the register, legislation requires all state bodies to protect their registers and systems, regardless of whether confidential information is processed or not, the official explained.

"As soon as we receive the certificate confirming that everything is safe in terms of security, we will launch it into industrial operation. According to the agreement, this should be completed by the end of summer or fall," noted Zakusylo.
