“…Other literature (Agarwal et al 2017;Janssen and Kuk 2006;Zheng and Zheng 2011;Larsson 2011) revealed that Enterprise Architecture has become increasingly popular. Considering the technological aspects of the reviewed architectures, we found that the majority of the architecture employs XML-based technologies, i.e., WSDL, RDF SPARQL, and Web Services, i.e., SOAP and REST, which shows that XML-based technologies and Web Services are the most natural choice candidate technologies and standards to support and base Digital Government systems Meneklis et al (2005). Furthermore, Web Services are considered the most suitable technology for implementing SOA Yan and Guo (2010), and that's is why most of the SOA based architecture leverages Web Services technology González et al (2012).…”

“…Increasingly, governments across the world consider Digital Government to be a political priority Tambouris et al (2014), and in recent years significant capital has been invested in the development and adoption of Digital Government services by public bodies Meneklis et al (2005). Despite all the good intentions, efforts, and considerable investments in Digital Government projects, a majority of these projects (60-85%) fail Heeks (2005), and the existing investment and development efforts are often ineffective and a massive waste of funds.…”

System architecture plays a crucial role in the establishment of Digital Government infrastructure. Over recent decades, various architectures have been introduced by scholars for the establishment of Digital Government infrastructure. However, there is no uniform agreement on Digital Government architecture concepts required for Digital Government infrastructure. To more thoroughly examine the Digital Government architecture introduced in this article, we collected 103 papers published between 2003 and 2020 retrieved from five leading literature databases. To conduct our research, we followed best practice scholarly accepted guidelines for researchers. Per the guidelines, we formulated research questions and employed an approach based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to meet our research goals. Our study found evidence that there is a lack of knowledge in terms of the state-of-the-art in Digital Government infrastructure and its challenges concerning existing Digital Government architectures. We identified a set of primary Digital Government architecture characteristics and building blocks on which the Digital Government infrastructures are built. These components are meant to improve the design of future Digital Government systems and applications. Furthermore, our research revealed a need for designing a reference architecture to provide government organizations with the best practice knowledge of already existing Digital Government architectures.

“…The discussion on leveraging SOA and Web Services in cross-organizational integration has not yet been intensified in the academic discourse. Current research of [26], [28], [96] is discussing the application of SOA concepts and Web Service technology in dedicated B2B scenarios, while in the eGovernment realm both [2] and [55] adopt a Web Service oriented architecture solely for internal application integration.…”

Innovative eCustoms solutions play an important role in the pan-European eGovernment strategy. The underlying premise is interoperability postulating a common understanding of processes, services and the documents that are exchanged between business and government organizations as well as between governmental authorities of different EU member states. This article provides a stringent approach for deriving documents and services from current eCustoms procedures based on the UN/CEFACT standards framework and for embedding these in a service oriented architecture for Collaborative eGovernment. In doing so, we put a special focus on document engineering by applying the UN/CEFACT Core Component Technical Specification (CCTS), a conceptual framework for modeling document components in a syntax neutral and technology independent manner. By relying on CCTS, we want to tackle the challenge of handling different document configurations imposed by divergent national legislations, different customs procedures (export, import, transit, and excise) and different industries. The resulting conceptual model is transferred to XML schema serving as a basis for Web Services design and implementation. These Web Services are designed for seamless interoperable exchange of electronic customs documents between heterogeneous IS landscapes both on business and government side. Beyond the theoretical deduction practical insights are gained from a European research project implementing the artifacts proposed in a real-world setting.

“…To overcome these obstacles the eMayor technical team appropriately configured the implemented security services [20]. However some implemented security mechanisms (such as privacy protection and identity management policies) were not legally framed at the time of the eMayor platform implementation.…”

In this paper we study the reciprocal interaction between a specific technological construct of contemporary times, namely Information Systems (IS) for e-Government and the way human agents conceive of this construct and employ it in their daily conduct. We build our analysis around case studies concerning two European e-Government research and development projects and try to unravel the subtle threads that form this interaction. It is our position that technology affects our every-day experiences not more than it is shaped by them through recurrent processes of structuring. Finally, we draw on concepts and ideas from past attempts to conceptualize technological artifacts, from our personal experiences and from Structuration Theory to define the concept of "technological integration".
