Page 1 FRAMEWORK FOR INTEGRATION OF EGOVERNMENT SERVICES ON A SEMANTIC BASIS

Abstract. The paper presents the approach taken in the FP6 IST project FP6-2004-027020 Access-eGov aimed at development of a platform for integration of existing electronic and traditional governmental services. A semantic description of services, by means of ontologies using WSMO conceptual model, enables to combine the services into more complex workflow structures such as life events with associated goals, service profiles and various properties. Architecture of the system is based on Web Services and service-oriented peer-to-peer networks. This approach should ensure modularity, flexibility, accessibility, and other required parameters of the proposed solution, which are required from the platform for interoperability in the field of eGovernment. 1.
