RESUMO

The Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are being applied vigorously by governmental entities around the world to better serve the society, a phenomenon often referred to as Electronic Government (e-Government). Initially the use of ICTs had a unique goal: to speed up internal bureaucratic processes (e.g. by processing huge amounts of data). Improvements in the delivery of citizen services were not considered a priority. In the recent years an enormous transformation is happening where one can observe increasing demands to improve citizen participation in public processes, to promote social e-Inclusion, to deliver new services which are more complex and more transparent and also to reduce bureaucracy. The inherent heterogeneity of the systems and processes, legal aspects and requirements such as privacy, autonomy and traceability create technology challenges that must be faced. In this context, this thesis, organized as a collection of papers, presents mechanisms to facilitate the development of new service-oriented and citizen-centric applications. The main contribution is the proposal of the CoGPlat infrastructure, idealized as a middleware to support e-Government services and applications on the Semantic Web. The thesis also contributes by proposing a strategy to enable transparent compositions with support of semantic annotations and the mediation of interaction policies. Prototype implementation issues and some application scenarios are also discussed
