    Semantic Web technologies enable challenging and novel applications, but come with two major drawbacks. Modelling tools are mainly designed for use by ontology experts but not for end user, who do not think in terms of concepts, instances or properties. Building ontologies is difficult and time consuming, as reuse of ontologies is limited. An argument often heard is that for the new application only part of the existing ontologies could be reused while other parts do not reflect the view of the new application. In this work we propose the use of semantic and ontology in the e-Government and think of solutions that can help people through the distributed ontologie

    The objective of this paper is to analyze the prerequisites and enablers for context-aware mobile services, to make context- aware services a reality, the user perspective, the business perspective, as well as the required technological enablers, have to be understood. This paper aims at summarizing briefly the current issues and prioritizing future work to foster the evolution of user-centric services that adapt to changing context and, therefore, also to user needs.. Furthermore we analyze the enablers for context-aware services: context provisioning and user profiling respectively. Finally, we discusses the envisioned user-centric services that employ the enablers to adapt to changing context and user needs

    Digital identities, profiles and their management enable online interactions and transactions among people, enterprises, service providers and government institutions. In this paper, after having examined the European identity management policies, we explain the differences between digital identity and digital citizenship and introduce digital credentials. We also discuss how an identity management framework, composed by shared and standardised services supporting authentication procedures, can change within the e-Government domain. The paper concludes by outlining future trends and the potentiality of the extended digital identity in both public and private sectors
