Abstract
An electronic registry is the main mechanism for the official distribution of public records, which are created within the framework of administrative procedures and business transactions. The encoding of public records within a registry is realized according to a certain format to facilitate information management. However, these formats do not refer to semantics, which are considered essential for: a) the description of the administrative procedures, and b) efficient information retrieval. This paper aims to provide a digital library architecture for the encoding of public records and administrative procedures. It introduces the usage of semantic tools for the management of knowledge within the proposed integrated system.
