Abstract

Departments and institutions collaborate and interoperate in processes crossing their organizational boundaries. A basic prerequisite for collaboration is interoperability, which can be defined as the ability of systems to work together with other systems. The building of interoperable system requires considering governance, organizational, strategic, social and technical issues.

This tutorial and workshop is aimed at contributing to the understanding of the scope of the issues involved in e-government interoperability and solutions to address them. Interoperability has been improved at the technical level by the introduction of service-oriented architecture and web services technology, however, many research questions remain open at the semantic and pragmatic levels. Interoperation and integration also require many other aspects, which might be harder to establish than the technical underpinnings. At least, the governance of the architecture of the many organizations collaborating with each other is needed to improve interoperability.
