Abstract
Life event portals are considered as the core element of the overall egovernment software infrastructure. Active life event portals are the most advanced incarnation of such portals able to process concrete life events related to specific citizen needs. Despite several realisation of ’supposed to be’ active life event portals, there is still a challenge how to design such portals to: a) assure their flexibility, b) easy integration with existing e-government infrastructures, c) be compliant with the law regulations, d) apply well defined SOA standards and existing components.
As a step forward to satisfy the above requirements, we propose an architecture for active life event portals based on generic workflow approach. This SOA based architecture benefits from the most promising technologies and is compliant with the recent relevant standards. A first verification of this architecture has been done in the EU OneStopGov project aiming at implementation of the one-stop government concept.
This work was partially supported by the European Commission project OneStopGov,project no. FP6-2004-IST-4-26965.
