The Colombian Government Enterprise Architecture Framework

A Systematic Literature Review on Existing Digital Government Architectures: State-of-the-Art, Challenges, and Prospects

“…As revealed in the findings of Sedek et al, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), a one-stop portal service center, semantic web services, integrated and interoperable Digital Government, and layered architectures are the most common current Digital Government architectures. However, several other studies report enterprise (Agarwal et al 2017;Rehman and Shamail 2014;Moreno et al 2014;Janssen and Cresswell 2005), hybrid and distributed (Sedek et al 2013;Meneklis and Douligeris 2007), decentralized Ye et al (2013), and multi-agent-based (Usman et al 2006;Zeeshan Ali Ansari and Imran Khan 2008;García-Sánchez et al 2008) architecture as well, which are not addressed in the study by Sedek et al The authors found that the majority of Digital Government architecture implements G2G and G2C, and most of them (59%) adopt Service Oriented Architecture or Web Services. However, the authors claimed that the architecture analyzed lacks detailed descriptions concerning structural and extra-functional properties.…”

“…A study was conducted by Moreno et al (2014) to examine some of the developed enterprise architecture for government in various countries, including Korea, the USA, Canada, Spain, Australia, Brazil, the UK, and Colombia. The review presents a comparison of the architecture domains used in each framework.…”

Enterprise Architectures in E-Governments Studies: Why, What and How?

“…More studies looked at both technical aspects and non-technical aspects and focused on how to improve the overall performance. Ways of improving e-government performance in developing countries [39], lessons learned from the case of Finnish and Colombia government EA [37,38] were investigated. Further, key factors for raising the maturity of government EA practices, such as management commitment and participation of business units, which were influenced by the perceived usefulness of the government EA efforts [35] were explored.…”

“…In several papers, government EA frameworks have been presented as the main contribution of the studies. For instance, government EA frameworks that have been used in Colombia [38], Finland [37], Indonesia [20], Brazil [41] were presented. More specifically, the EA framework including the architecture and methodology to support using big data and cloud computing was described [24,26].…”

“…Performing case studies is a frequently used method in this area. Examples, demos or case have been presented regarding the practices of applying EA in governments of different countries such as Indonesia [20,43], Korea [36], Australia [21], Colombia [38], Finland [37], Brazil [41], and Portugal [23].…”
