6. DTP Design Principles • DTP @the cradle: • Need for dematerialization of documents / forms etc to diminish mountains of paper and to speed up processes. • Need for keeping processes and documents legally valid whilst “dematerializing” • Usable internally in government & in context of interaction with citizens and economic actors. • Many different formats of information: letters, documents, dossiers, contracts, architectural drawings, … • DTP v1 scope : • VERY generic platform usable with minimum limitations • Simple document-signing for civil servants • Generic document/dossier signing service for platforms

7. DTP Design Principles /2 • DTP v1 in short: • Enable legally valid signing of documents/dossiers by means of a shared digital signing service. • Enable signing of documents & dossiers of multiple formats (as dossiers may contain different types of files). • Enable muliple signatures (eg subsidy-contracts need to be signed by two parties) + prevent possible fraud. • WYSIWYS (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Sign), meaning visualisation of document and signatures as much as like in the paper world, conformant to templates of the Flemish Government • Client should be available on Windows, Mac, Linux, … and be eID-friendly.
