Presentation
Enterprise Architecture Frameworks and Interoperability Frameworks in e-Government Initiatives
Interoperability has been identified as a major issue to be addressed by all e-government agencies. Some agencies have faced the interoperability problem as far as applications and semantics concepts are concerned, in order to enable a seamless information flow between public administrations.

Interoperability Frameworks have shown up as the appropriate tool for achieving this goal. However, a true seamless service delivery to citizens and businesses calls for a more comprehensive analysis, which tackles not only with technical issues, but also with business and organizational aspects. In this challenge, Enterprise Architecture Frameworks can play a crucial role.

In the presentation the main initiatives in interoperability are presented and the adoption of interoperability and enterprise architecture frameworks is assessed.
