Towards e-Government Interoperability Framework

Over the past decade most countries with advanced economies have made major investments in various e-Government initiatives attempting to replace traditional paper-based communications between government departments, citizens and private organizations with electronic communications. Notwithstanding such costly initiatives the success of e- Government efforts has been limited. In this paper we discuss e-Government initiatives in the Czech Republic and argue that successful introduction of e- Government must be done in the context of a service-centric interoperability framework that facilitates the development of e-Government services with well- defined and stable interfaces.
