Interoperability standards and e-Government: perspectives and challenges
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interoperability standards play an important role in system integration and information sharing in e-Government environment. But the development and establishment of these standards do not depend on technological aspects only. System integration and information sharing do not mean just enable data interchange but, mainly, integrate processes and transactions. In this scenery, other variables from the institutional (organizational and politics), economic and social contexts arise. Therefore, the development and establishment of standard processes present a high complexity, due to the number of agents that participates in the processes, the environment where they occur, the interactions of the agents with the environment, besides the likely conflicts of interests that can arise. The objective of this paper is to analyze these processes, its characteristics and the involved challenges. It is believed that the understanding of these processes will allow addressing future actions for the standards diffusion and evolution.
