Industry Specification Group (ISG) on European Common Information Sharing Environment Service and Data Model (CDM) Activity Report 2022

Chair: Bernhard Wehner, BMWi

Developing technical specifications to provide a universal data and service model that serves as a reference for all cross-sectoral and cross-border information exchange between European public authorities.

 

The Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE) is an EU initiative towards an Integrated Maritime Surveillance, aiming to make European and EU/EEA Member States surveillance systems interoperable and to give all concerned authorities from different sectors access to information they need to conduct missions at sea. Its primary objective is to generate a situational awareness of activities at sea, impacting on the seven maritime sectors – Maritime Safety & Security, Border Control, Maritime Pollution & Marine Environment Protection, Fisheries Control, Customs, General Law Enforcement and Defence – as well as the economic interests of the EU.

ETSI’s Industry Specification Group on European Common Information Sharing Environment Service and Data Model (ISG CDM) is developing a consistent set of technical specifications that allow data exchange among different legacy systems within the CISE framework.

Through standardization of the CISE data model – and in particular through Common Interface and Core Infrastructure Services – the work of ISG CDM facilitates information exchange between user communities, member states, public authorities or EU agencies. It also supports the EU's maritime security strategy (EUMSS).

To demonstrate the universal capabilities of the CISE data and service model for other public surveillance domains, the ISG CDM extended its work to the Land Border domain, using the results of the EU-funded ANDROMEDA project.

2022 saw publication of an update to the Group’s report GR CDM 001 V2.1.1 on CDM use cases for the CISE and ANDROMEDA data model.

Revisions meanwhile progressed to a number of the group’s existing specifications, covering supplementary use cases definitions, system requirements, architecture, protocols and data model. Work also continued on development of various conformance test specifications.
