Beyond eAuthorisation #2

Open eprocurementontology opened 5 years ago

eprocurementontology commented 5 years ago

To the question "Is there any situation where the eMandate would not aim to trigger an eAuthorisation?", Michal Ohrablo responds:

"Perhaps empowering the Mandatee to sign a contract in the name of the Mandator. I tried to figure out by looking into definitions in your glossary is such case is covered by your definition of eAuthorisation and my interpretation is that it isn't."

Thanks for the input Michal...we have been reflecting on this matter and our conclusion is that this situation about signing contracts is yet another possible online service that would fall under the Use Case eAuthorisation:

  1. A mandatee intends to use a mandate to sign a contract using a service that is online, offered by a cross-border Service Provider.
  2. The Service Provider requests a mandate based on the information provided by the user (the mandatee), such as the mandatee ID and the mandate ID.
  3. The eMandate Registry where this mandate is kept supplies the Service Provider Service with the mandate.
  4. The mandatee is authorised and proceeds to sign the contract.

So, we'd be in front of an eAuthorisation Use Case, again. Wouldn't we?

Reactions to this comment will be appreciated. Many thanks.

Not sure. It depends on how broadly you define "online service" and what is the scope of the study. Let's take an example from the public procurement domain: Successful bidder is about to sign a contract with the Contracting Authority. The board of the company empowers a single legal representative to sign it (usually by more general mandate, stating e.g. that contracts up to some value can be signed by that representative). Typically, the signature of the contract - if done electronically - goes by exchange of e-mails with the contract as attachment. Does that fall within the scope of the study / definition of online service?
