In this paper we argue that attentive observation of the evolution of e-Government can result in the identification of patterns that affect this process in a deep, subconscious and recursive way. These patterns can be used to enhance the contemporary modelling methodologies of information systems which play a crucial role in their overall efficiency. In this respect, we analyze this evolution from a structurational perspective focusing on the structuring through services and on the structuring through technologies. Through our analysis we discover modelling concepts that pervade design attempts for e-Government systems to date. Finally, we suggest an extension to an existing modelling framework (the ISO Reference Model for Distributed Processing Systems - ISO RM-ODP) which is established on the identified concepts and their corresponding structuring rules that we have defined based on our experiences. These conceptual extensions are put to use in the modelling phase of a European e-Government project (SWEB).
