Under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), several initiatives have been taken for the growth of e-Governance in the country. The success of e-Governance systems needs seamlesss sharing and exchange of data among the e-Governance applications within/ across different domains. Semantic interoperability among these applications requires:

  • the precise meaning of exchanged information is understood across applications and
  • standardization of commonly accepted data definitions and standardisation of metadata for the various elements used in the e-Governance systems

The standard document MDDS Demographic Ver 1.1 published by Meity, is an attempt in this direction. Having realised the importance of Metadata and Data Standards, to ensure semantic interoperability among e-Governance system, Meity has set up an Institutional Mechanism for formulating the Domain specific Metadata and Data Standards (MDDS). The mechanism suggests the constitution of a Domain Committee in each Ministry/ department, to formulate its domain specific Metadata and Data Standards.

Following is the list of domain committees with their assigned domain codes:
