SemanticGov Mission

• Reengineering of Public Administration (PA) systems– Internal Integration at the administrative intra- and inter- agency level

– External integration with the society

• Building an infrastructure for:– Offering intelligent services by PA to:

• Streamline cooperation between PA agencies (both at national and European level)

• Easy the discovery of PA Services by the customers• Facilitate the execution of complex services

– Enable total reengineering of PA service provision

Integrated, Intelligent Environment for Public Administration

Service Provision at the National and Pan-European Level
