Abstract

The main objective of e-government information systems is to provide integrated, transparent, and efficient services to citizens by exploiting the potential of new information and communication technologies. The current trend in this field is the use of semantic technologies, especially semantic web services (SWS) which enable enriching E-Gov services description with additional semantic information. However, besides making available e-services, a number of gaps must be filled such as services discovery, integration and collaboration. In this paper, we propose a SWS approach to overcome these gaps in government-to-government (G2G) context which is distributed environment.
