Abstract

In this paper, we describe an innovative approach to the development of Web search services currently applied in the Italian Public Administrations domain, which we believe could be easily replicated in other countries as well. This approach is being applied in the framework of Italia.gov.it, a governmental ongoing project aimed to the establishment of vertical search services for Public Administrations' data. The Italia.gov.it project comes after a three years long period of studies and experimentations jointly performed by DigitPA and research groups from several Universities, with the aim to define a economically viable project able to provide highly specialised search services. In this paper, we both summarize some lessons learned during such activities and briefly describe the overall architectural solution being adopted for Italia.gov.it. Finally, we report, as a proof of concept, the experience gained during the development of the first search service published on Italia.gov.it.
