Introduction
E-Government is rapidly changing the way governmental services are
provided to citizens and businesses, over the last years. The increasing
number of data, regulations, policies and their updates is resulting by a
huge number of semi-structured heterogeneous documents including semantic
and multilingual problems, etc. On the other hand, globalization,
migration, financial crisis, climate changes and other natural hazards
that may happen either locally or across the globe are putting new
challenges to e-government, e.g. how to provide accurate information to
citizens with respect to their constitutional laws and to businesses with
respect to desired economic growth.
Aside from the financial costs and threats to the success of E-government
are challenges that have often been overlooked or ignored. E.g.
governments have not employed many democratic strategies in tailoring
e-government services to match citizen’s and/or business requirements.
Additionally, different or even the same levels of governments are
suffering by too much heterogeneity of data and standards in use.
The objective of this book is to address which services in e-government
should be provided to users and how: i.e. dealing with existing data, new
data acquisition, even in real time, and intelligent data bringing to
either citizens or to business in an accurate, timely and secure manner.
At the same time the interoperability within an e-government, in B2G and
B2C domain should be at the highest possible level. To achieve these goals
the effective usage of advanced Web technologies such as crowdsourcing,
data mashup, ontologies, Web services, Internet of Things and their power
effective combination should be analyze, develop and deploy in
e-government services. Despite the common interoperability goals above in
depth analysis of specific domain requirements should also be taken into
account.
New approaches, including thinking about new possibilities for the
Internet of Things and the Internet of Services and for “cloud oriented”
approaches is also of real interest to researchers who hope to solve these
problems. E-Government applications play a part in the evolution of future
technologies, promise a new way to share and discover information, and may
improve business and government exchange capability. Moving toward real
business intelligence, many researchers hope to discover where intelligent
agents and Semantic Web technologies fit in now and how they support the
goal of improving Electronic government services at the highest possible
level.
Objective of the Book
The book will give an overview of the latest achievements in the field,
provide in-depth analysis of and research on the development and
deployment of cutting-edge applications, and provide insight into future
trends.
