EIRA is an architecture content metamodel based on the European Interoperability Framework and its four layers of interoperability: legal interoperability, organisational interoperability, semantic interoperability and technical interoperability. EIRA defines the most salient architectural building blocks needed to build interoperable eGovernment systems. It provides a common terminology that can be used by people working for public administrations in various architecture and system development tasks.
