A RESTful Approach For Platforms In The eGovernment Domain

The provision of support for operations in the domain of eGovernment is a complex task that has been driving the efforts of the community for the last years. This pursuit aims to achieve not just a good support for present service but also for the close future. Scalability, traceability, and security of the fi- nal solution are features of the utmost importance in this context. In this line, the paper presents a holistic approach based on the principles of RESTful to sup- port services within the domain. Authors also take full advantage of semantic resources that are used to boost the capacities of the system due to its possibil- ities to provide a complete and explicit formalization of the knowledge involved. Thus, advanced features will be possible, as shown in the paper. Also, some conclusions are presented.
