Abstract

In all countries, we currently see major efforts in digital transformation initiatives. The United Nations e-Government Survey 2020 puts a strong emphasis on data, which makes sense, given the huge progress in big data and data science in the last decade. The UN survey distinguishes between data-informed, data-driven and data-centric approaches to digital government. Actually, Gartner defined the notion of data-centric government already in 2014. Still, today, we are far away from such data-centric government. How comes? How to shape the next generation of e-government technologies? In service of such and similar questions, we walk through a series of important data exchange technologies: the Estonian data exchange layer X-Road, the European federated data infrastructure GAIA-X, the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI), and the IoT data management solution FIWARE. Finally, based on the notion of data governance architecture, we give an overview of our proposed digital government architecture framework that is intended to help in large-scale digital government design efforts.
