Contributions

• Standards:

– formal legal representations

– services and components

– (representing) life events

• Usability & learnability

• Legal issues

institutional issues

Application Domain: Target group

Target group:

• start-up and migrating SME’s

Stakeholders:

• SME’s

• Local/Regional/National governmental

bodies (e.g. Chambers of Commerce,

E-services that improve SME’s

compliance

• Gov’s need to operate E-services at the

lowest costs possible

• ...

Common/Shared E-gov services

• identify common E-gov services (based

upon a survey)

• classify these services

• design of reusable components

• design of shared services.

• …

Scopeability

• Regional approach:

• Amsterdam, Berlin-Brandenburg,

London, Valencia,…

• Start with relatively simple services then

more complex ones

Returns on investments

• Implement European standards while

having returns on investments for SME’s

and Gov’s.

• Involvement of already existing

networks (e.g. Tax Admin’s,

Municipalities, Business consultants,

POWER, .Gov, …) and connect to NoE’s

and EU-Forum WG’s
