semantic interoperability, e-government
Short Description
Information and Communication
Technologies have an unprecedented potential to improve the
responsiveness of governments to the needs of citizens and have
long been recognized as a key strategic tool to enable reforms in
the public sector. During the last years, this potential of
ICT has started to be dealt with in a multi-disciplinary way,
giving birth to new research communities dealing with governance
and policy modelling, modelling and simulation of complex systems,
public administration information systems, open governance and
social media. However, this potential is to this day
non-systematically exploited, as there are significant barriers
that hinder the effective exploration, management and distribution
of the vast amounts of available public sector data towards the
research communities.
The main goal of ENGAGE project is
the deployment and use of an advanced service infrastructure,
incorporating distributed and diverse public sector information
resources as well as data curation, semantic annotation and
visualisation tools, capable of supporting scientific collaboration
and governance-related research from multi-disciplinary scientific
communities, while also empowering the deployment of open
governmental data towards citizens.
The ENGAGE e-infrastructure is
envisaged to promote a highly synergetic approach to governance
research, by providing the ground for experimentation to actors
from both ICT and non-ICT related disciplines and scientific
communities, as well as by ensuring that the scientific outcomes
are made accessible to the citizens, so that they can monitor
public service delivery and influence the decision making
process.
