Designing An Ecosystem Model for E-Government Ontology Development Using Ecosystem Pie Model

The emergence of e-Government as a concept and practice has been a significant development over the last decade. Government Institutions have developed various applications providing public or inter-governmental services. These E-Government applications, some are legacy applications, were built independently using different platforms. Consequently, this heterogeneity creates problems such as lack of data integration and system interoperability. This integration/interoperability problem makes it difficult to perform semantic linking between databases to create a government knowledge base which is critical for knowledge discovery and innovation. Ontology has been regarded as a promising technology to solve this integration/interoperability problem as it provides semantic interoperability and promotes knowledge discovery and innovation. To support the development and operation of cross domain government ontology services for semantic interoperability in e-government systems, it is necessary to define an ecosystem model. The aim of research is to design an ontology development ecosystem model for Indonesian E-Government System using Ecosystem Pie Model.
