SHARE.IT
SHARE.IT was developed during the previous phase of the project with the objective of linking existing information-exchange systems of sovereign states, to facilitate the exchange of information and data among different Centres in a structured, secure, and sustainable manner.
Conducted in partnership with UNODC, SHARE.IT aims to bridge IORIS with those partners already operating a national information-exchange system through the SHARE.IT Interoperability Framework. This concept is developed around the creation of a common software solution, which allows partners to send selected pieces of information to one another through a shared technological platform. This initiative includes the standing Regional Information Fusion Centres as key components.
Pillar 1: The Community
Sharing information starts with connecting people. Every six months stakeholders get together and discuss needs and challenges and how to tackle them within the system.
To kick-start the initiative, key players from the Indo-Pacific joined the initiative – namely the Regional Maritime Information Fusion Centre (RMIFC), Information Fusion Centre (IFC) Singapore, IFC Peru and UNODC. The Information Fusion Centre Vanuatu and the IFC Indian Ocean Region have been invited to join, while membership is also open to other organisations.
The Inter-regional Coordination Centre (ICC) from the Yaoundé Architecture was also invited to join the community, during a conference in Bangkok, in January 2023.
Pillar 2: The technology
Pillar 3: The legal and operational framework
Legal and operational factors such as concepts and standards, data sensitivity and classification, and privacy and data protection, are addressed by the community in order to facilitate the adoption of the technology and the exchange of information for its usage. This process secures that, when it comes to using SHARE.IT, the community fully trusts the framework, which is based on agreed political, technological, legal and operational rules and guidelines.
EU CRIMARIO coordinates and supports all these activities.
