A team from the Palestinian e-Government Academy visited STARLab at Vrije University Brussel in Belgium, as part of PalGov activities funded by TEMPUS. The visit lasted 8 days (from 16/6/2011 to 23/6/2011). During the visit, several researchers from STARLab presented the courses and exercises given by the teaching staff of the VUB in relation to the PalGov project, in addition to presenting topics and case studies related to ontology and semantics, ORM, Ontology based data matching, DOGMA tools, as well as several projects and research issues were discussed with the PalGov Team.
It is worth noting that all partners in the PalGov project are developing four tutorials related to Interoperability, including: Process and Data Modeling, Data Integration and Open Information Systems, Process Integration and Service Oriented Architectures, Ontology Engineering and Lexical Semantics. These tutorials will be offered to the public and private sector in Palestine, in a few months, to help implementing e-government services in Palestine.
