Ontology-based Data and Process Governance Framework – The Case of e-Government Interoperability in Palestine
In pre-proceedings of the IFIP International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and Analysis (SIMPDA’11). Pages(83-98). ISBN 978-88-903120-2-1. Campione, Italy. June 30, 2011.
Abstract: The major challenge when integrating information systems in any domain such as e-Government is the challenge of Interoperability. One can distinguish between three aspects of Interoperability; technical, semantic, and organizational. The technical aspect has been widely tackled especially after the ubiquity of internet technologies. The semantic and organizational aspects deal with sharing the same understanding (semantics) of exchanged information among all applications and services, in addition to modeling and re-engineering governmental processes to facilitate process cooperation that provision seamless e-government services. In this paper, we present the case of the Palestinian Interoperability Framework ‘Zinnar’, which is a use case of using ontology in e-government (i.e., data and process governance) to tackle the issues of semantic and organizational interoperability. The followed methodology resulted in a success story within a very short time and has produced a framework that is intuitive, elegant, and easy to understand and implement.

Palestinian E-Government Needs Assessment: Skills Analyses and Training Program
Deliverables: D1.1, D2.1, D3.1,Pal-Gov Project (511159-TEMPUS-1-2010-1-PS-TEMPUS-JPHES), May 2011.
– AbstractAbstract: This report identifies the skills needed to implement and deploy an e-government framework, focusing on the interoperability, security, and legal needs. The report also suggests a training program of six training tutorials, or alternatively, four academic courses, that are necessary to build these skills.
The methodology used to identify the missing skills was analytical. That is, the Palestinian e-government architecture was studied and analyzed and the skills and know-how needed to implement and deploy this were identified in consultation with the governmental and private sectors. We then estimated the present skills and know-how of the Palestinian governmental and private sectors. From the identified present skills and required skills, the missing skills were deduced. This allowed us to derive the Intended Learning Outcomes that are required for the suggested training program.
