e-Government - A WebServices Framework

Abstract e-Government is an exciting area for applying Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). ICT can improve the efficiency and effectiveness in the provision and delivery of citizen services. A critical issue for the e-Government implementation is the interoperation problem among heterogeneous legacy government systems. In this aspect, the universal system interoperability supported by the XML-based webservices technologies can be useful components in a holistic e-Government infrastructure. In this paper, we review the specific requirements for the webservices infrastructure in the government domain. Based on this, a number of webservices models that are appropriate for the e-Government infrastructure are devised.
