Abstract

E-Government is currently being actively implemented in Indonesian government agencies; only the benefits of the service in the public community still had not been optimal. A country with a population of hundreds of millions of people, it requires metadata in the demographic data management. If the population/demographic metadata are not developed, then there are some problems that will be encountered. Suppose diversity in terms of databases, is a constraint when government agencies will perform the information exchange. The public sector has the characteristics of the various items of data and information that has diverse meaning or understanding, as in the fields of law, regulation, public services, administrative processes and various other documents. A basic problem of the huge data is to use a service in a cross-sector and regional data exchange within a country. One obstacle is the diversity of information systems, both in the use of hardware, operating systems, database up to information understanding. This article presents a solution to overcome one of diversity, i.e. the database diversity by building data interoperability between government agencies in Indonesia by developing population metadata. Population metadata was developed by looking at demographic data elements that already exist, and choosing important elements of the population data. The government agency that already has the data or database applications do not need to make changes, but only need to add a middleware to serve as a converter to take advantage of the population metadata mapping. Population metadata user is all government agencies, especially for public services and who need for the exchange of data related to population.
