Period: Mar 01, 2008 - Mar 31, 2009
Status: abgeschlossen

R4eGov was a project supported by the European Commission to help tackle one of the major challenges facing eGovernment in Europe today – the vast and ever evolving environment making it necessary to collaborate with changing partners without touching existing systems.

R4eGov aimed at providing eGovernment interoperability for e-Administrations by large, while preserving the autonomy of existing institutions and diversity of basic principles.

In a team of 22 partners, we aimed to support interoperabiliy in eGovernment while preserving the autonomy of existing institutions and the independency of their systems. At the Institute of Information Systems Research, at the University of Koblenz-Landau, we put special effort on

  • the analysis and specification of requirements for comprehensive interoperable eAdministration - basing on existing projects as well as on the R4eGov use cases.
    Our research group developed a framework to support the classification of solutions and standards. The application of this framework resulted in a web-based tool, presenting the result of European and national research and development on the topic of "Interoperability in eGovernment" - the eGovCube.
  • the support of collaborative workflows in a service oriented architecture (SOA) as a basis of seamless processing across existing applications of the public sector.
  • the modelling of cross -organisational business processes and the automated transformation in machine-readable instructions (concept2code).
  • the monitoring in a SOA as means to measure the (personal, technical, monetary) performance and to optimise the business processes.
  • the development of a holistic Enerprise Architecture with scope on interoperability
