A semantic web service composition for E-Government services

Emerging from e-business ideas in the late 1990s, e-Government is seen as a concept that is focused on fully exploiting Internet and information and communication technologies to deliver effective government services to citizens, businesses, and other stakeholders. However e-Government has some specific features as opposed to traditional e-business scenarios, because of the enormous challenges it faces in achieving interoperability, integration and security, which are of interest to our dynamic Web service composition research and on which semantic Web service composition architecture could be properly demonstrated. From these reasons, we propose in this paper an approach for the composition of semantically described e- Government Web services, enabling citizens to dynamically compose services according to their goals and through a single point of access. © 2005 - 2015 JATIT & LLS.
