The idea of the project

 

We work together to research, design and develop technology innovations which will create and support a software environment providing user-friendly, advanced interfaces supporting “life events” of citizen or enterprises – administration interactions transparently involving many government organizations within the European Community. The eGov-Bus is a dynamically adaptable information system supporting life events experienced by the citizen or business serviced by European government organizations.

 

 

 

The background

 

The “life-events” model organizes services and allows users to access services in a user-friendly and seamless manner, by hiding the functional fragmentation and the organizational complexity of the public sector. This approach transforms Governmental portals into virtual agencies, which cluster functions related to the customer’s everyday life, regardless of the responsible agency or branch of Government.

 

 

Research & development works

 

The objective of eGov-Bus is to integrate and extend research and standards in the area of process and content management for government and cross-government systems, with the capability of creating advanced applications of electronic signature enhancing acceptance of the technology and establishing trusted system validity and non-repudiation, relying on web services, process and repository management platforms based on a highly secure, highly available, scalable and distributed architecture providing data access abstraction. A key downstream effect is the reduction of integration costs of many of eGovernment projects. It will research advanced infrastructure level technologies on which future developments of IDA will be enabled.

 

 

Project "Advanced eGovernment Information Service Bus" is supported by the European Community under "Information Society Technologies" priority of the Sixth Framework Programme.
