University of Macedonia © University of Macedonia Overview  Classifying eGovernment Models  Overview of the models  Presenting our approach

University of Macedonia © University of Macedonia Three views on e-Government domain modeling  eGovernment domain and service models can be grouped into three categories, depending on their modeling perspective –Object perspective –Process perspective –Holistic perspective

University of Macedonia © University of Macedonia Object Perspective  Focuses on identifying and modeling the common objects that are shared among a large number of public administration organizations –The UK Government Common Information Model –The DIP eGovernment Ontology –The OneStopGov Life-event ontology model

University of Macedonia © University of Macedonia Process Perspective  Focuses on modeling generic processes that are common to a large number of public administration organizations –The SAP Public Sector Solution Map –The Government Process Classification Scheme

University of Macedonia © University of Macedonia Holistic Perspective (1/2)  Focuses on combining the object and the process perspective and providing a holistic representation of public administration –The three spheres in eGovernance –The Gartner Government Performance Framework –The ONTOGOV service –WebDG Ontologies

University of Macedonia © University of Macedonia Holistic Perspective (2/2) –A Faceted Classification of Public Administration and Generic Administrative Processes –The Federal Enterprise Architecture Ontology –The Governance Enterprise Architecture –The FIDIS eGovernment Domain Model

University of Macedonia © University of Macedonia The Governance Enterprise Architecture (GEA)  Introduces a consistent set of generic models that model and describe public administration  It is technology-neutral and thus applicable to different technological environments  It has been developed, used and extended in several R&D projects  It has been used by the public agencies of two EU Member States for modelling their services
