Abstract
The increasing complexity of e-Government services demands a correspondingly larger effort for management. Today, many system management tasks, such as service verification and re-configuration due to changes in the law, are often performed manually. This can be time consuming and error-prone. The main objective of the OntoGov (IST-2002-507237) project is to overcome the above mentioned problems by developing a semantically-enriched platform that will facilitate the consistent configuration and re-configuration of e-Government services. This paper outlines the overall OntoGov platform and demonstrates how the Service Modeller can be used to consistently model e-Government Services.
