Semantic Web Meets E-Government Results from Break-Out Session: Process and Services Tomas Vitvar tomas.vitvar@deri.org Semantic Web Meets E-Government (SWEG), AAAI Spring Symposium 27-29 March, Stanford, USA
Participants, Projects, SWS Frameworks • Projects and Participants • EU Research Projects: DIP, SemanticGov, OntoGov • EU Industrial Activities (BPM) • Canadian Research Activities • Frameworks • SWS: WSMO, OWL-S, WSDL-S • BPM • Many projects just started or ongoing • SWS new approach in e-government
Outcomes (1) • Applicability of SWS to e-Government • Technical point of view: • in principle, e-gov system can be seen as service oriented architecture • Organizational point of view: • People need to understand benefits of WS and SOA in e-gov -> education • WS – need support of companies that government can rely on • In practise, PA not even ready to use WS -> SWS would be challenging • SWS as built on WS is one step forward
Outcomes (2) • Value Added for e-Government, Advantage of using SWS in e-Gov • SWS can help in solving heterogeneity issues • Data Interoperability (domain ontologies, data mediation) • Process Interoperability – not a big issue? • SWS can help in formalizing PA service model • BPM • E.g. PA service model from GEA formalized using WSMO and WSML • Value Added for SWS Technologies? • Verification of SWS frameworks, feedback to SWS development • Revealing missing aspects of SWS from e-government
Outcomes (3) • Community synergies • Use Cases – evaluation of UC, sharing UC, lessons learned • Differences between US and Europe • WSDL-S – not applied to SWS • Canada – survey on possibilities, use of SWS • The most relevant standardisation issues • SWS • W3C standardization efforts in SWS (SWS IG, Semantics for WS) • OASIS standardization efforts in SEE TC • E-Gov • “standardization” process at national levels (common data models for PA) -> domain ontology infrastructure
