Question
How to report field B_02.02.0130 where the ICT service is not supporting a critical or important function considering that according to the data model this data field is a primary key?
Background on the question
The ITS describes data field B_02.02.0130 as mandatory only if the ICT service is supporting a critical or important function, introducing conditionality. According to the data model, however, field is marked as a primary key value. As a result it should not be missing or reported empty. It is unclear how to fill in the data field where the ICT service is not supporting critical or important functions without triggering a data quality error.
Answer
According to the data model for the Register of Information data field B_02.02.0130 is marked as a primary key value. As a result it should not be missing or reported empty. The option 'Not Applicable' was added to the closed set of options. If the ICT service is not supporting a critical or important function (i.e., B_06.01.0060 = ‘No’ for the corresponding function identifier), then the option ‘Not Applicable’ should be used. The field should be filled in with the country of service otherwise.
