As an application domain,
e-Government, also known as digital government, online
government or transformational government, refers to the use of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in government
practices to enhance access to and delivery of government
information and services to citizens, businesses, employees, other
agencies and government entities, and is long recognized as a key
strategic tool to enable reforms in the public sector and unlock
its potential. In this context, it is well embedded in policies and
strategies across the world defining milestones and action plans
either at national or cross-country level, and it is closely
related in practice to the concept of interoperability, the lack of
the latter being the most long lasting and challenging problem for
governmental organizations in the process of achieving e-government
transformation. Moreover, recently the scope of the domain has been
extended so as to include as well the application of the social
networking and integration advantages of Web 2.0 in government
practices, so as to further enhance their effectiveness.
e-Government constitutes a key
application domain for the Greek Interoperability Centre, which
targets the improvement of the efficiency and effectiveness of
public sector organizations processes through the development and
promotion of innovative solutions and methodologies that lie within
the following individual fields of application:
- e-Government Interoperability Standardization
Apart from being an active member
in several interoperability standardization bodies and monitoring
European standardization directions and policies, the Greek
Interoperability Centre adopts and utilizes in the frame of
e-government research activities widely accepted standards and
state-of-the-art technologies, contributing thus to e-government
interoperability standardization.
- Governmental Services Modelling, Simulation,
Transformation and Composition
The centre possesses an extensive
background on methodologies for governmental services modeling,
integration, simulation, management and transformation.
G.I.C. expertise in this field
encompasses domain-specific ontologies (e-government,
e-participation, legal, local administration ontologies), targeted
databases and repositories for public sector knowledge sharing,
organization and management as well as policy and legal digital
libraries.
- Governmental Services and Document Registries and
Middleware Architectures
- Policy Modelling, Simulation, Visualization and
Implementation Support
In this area G.I.C. know-how
involves advanced tools and techniques that facilitate policy
modeling, simulation and visualization and public service delivery
decision making.
- e-Government Information Systems Design and
Development
The centre is involved in the
design and implementation of e-government information systems at
local, national or European level, including Electronic Services
Portals, Geographical Information Systems, eParticipation Tools and
Middleware Components.
- Future Internet Applications
and Systems in Public Administration
