A semantic web service based approach to E-Governance

E-government is increasing its momentum internationally, but the present E-Governance is suffering from lack of interoperability, resource sharing, operation integration and concept of collaborative work. Semantic web services has the potential to overcomes this problem . This paper explains how semantic Web services can be used to support successful e-government initiatives by connecting system design to a shared understanding of interactions and processes. We also discuss the middleware for implanting the e-Governance one-stop portal, conceptual architecture of semantic Web service based e-governance. We illustrated a use case scenario in the context of livelihood development of a country like India.
