Abstract

With this work we present an approach to the semi-automatic generation of e-Government forms based on semantic descriptions. The idea is to automatically identify relevant input for a public service based on a semantic description. This description includes all necessary input as well as some constraints that have to be met in order to invoke the service. The relevant input data is gathered from the citizen using dynamically generated forms. The user input is than interactively checked against the procedure's business rules represented by logical constraints in the ontology used. If the data provided is correct and conforms to the ontology's restrictions, the data, available as XML and RDF, can be consumed by any application supporting the data interchange standard used, including Semantic Web services.
