Abstract
In order to provide electronic service delivery, several activities involving different public agencies need to be related and carried out in coordinated manner, thus resulting in a cooperative process. Currently, e-Service technologies seems to offer the enabling infrastructure for supporting cooperative process enactment, even at inter-country level. In this position paper, we outline the architecture we are proposing in the EU-PUBLI.com project, in which orchestration of e-Services constitutes the basis for provision of e-Government services. We discuss how such an architecture could support a form, although simple, of management of the cooperative process knowledge.
