Abstract

The SemanticGov Portal assists citizens in discovering eGovernment services that address their needs. Using the portal the citizens will be guided through the discovery process via a structured online discussion, which consists of a dynamically generated set of questions and answers. The Portal poses questions to the citizens and uses their answers in order to identify formally described goal (a concrete WSMO-PA goal). This goal is then forwarded to the discovery engine which matches it with the available PA services and selects the one(s) that match. The architecture and implementation of the Portal capitalize on Semantic Web technologies, such as ontologies and reasoners.
