TL;DR

This paper proposes a RESTful, semantic technology-based system for managing citizen profiles in eGovernment, enhancing interoperability and cost-effectiveness for public administration services.

Contribution

It introduces a novel RESTful and semantic approach for citizen profile management, facilitating integration into existing platforms and improving service support.

Findings

System design leveraging semantic technologies and RESTful principles.

Enhanced interoperability and cost efficiency in citizen profile management.

Deployment notes for reuse in similar eGovernment contexts.

Abstract

Several steps are missing in the current high-speed race towards the holistic support of citizen needs in the domain of eGovernment. This paper is focused on how to provide support for the citizen profile. This profile, in a wide sense, includes personal information as well documents in possession of the citizen. This also involves the provision of those mechanisms required to publish, access and submit the convenient information to a Public Administration in due curse of a transactional services provided with the last one. Main features of the system are related to interoperability and possibilities for its inclusion in a cost effective manner in already developed platforms. To make that possible, this approach will take full advantage of semantic technologies and the RESTful paradigm to design the entire system. The paper presents the overall system with some notes on the deployment of the solution for its further reuse in similar contexts.
