A Knowledg Graph Model for e-Government

Many governments around the world have invested huge amount of resource to build their e- Government capabilities, to meet government objectives of effective public service delivery and citizens engagement. The increase in size of an e-Government landscape has led to the increase in complexity of the infrastructure. This increasing complex infrastructure presents a challenge for governments to continue to meet its objectives. Knowledge Graph (KG), a constituent AI technology, has shown a lot of promise in helping governments meet its objectives in the midst of the complexity. A major aspect of this complexity is the need to maintain a single view of the world, in the form of a unified meaning of data, within a given e-Government instance, given the heterogeneity in data models used in the different departments within an e-Government instance. In this paper, we present a unique perspective in addressing the problem of deriving semantic meaning from disparate data in an e-Government context, using KG. Our aim is to advance the objectives of effective service delivery and citizens engagement in a complex e- Government instance. We focus on creating a data- centric architectural model that is single, simple and extensible, based on KG. We create a functional model based on architectural view and viewpoints from standards such as The Open Group Architectural Framework (TOGAF). The functional model highlights the various components that underpin the functions. We have developed our model within the context of a Design Science Research (DSR) approach, and we provide evaluation of same model within that context. An e- Government KG model guides the development of KG solutions in e-Government, in order to achieve the e- Government enterprise goals of effective service delivery and citizens engagement.

Business enterprise architecture in fitness center using the open group architecture framework

<span>Sports currently have an impact on human life, especially in the health sector. One way of exercising that is popular with many people today is by exercising at the fitness center. One of them is a fitness center located in Bandung. This research aims to obtain design results that can adapt business processes in fitness centers and can help the company's performance so that its vision and mission are achieved. The current business process is still experiencing problems because business has not yet been integrated with information technology (IT), so a business process proposal was made using the business architecture method. By conducting interviews and observations, data can be collected. From this data, it can be seen that business implementation in fitness centers is not yet optimal, so it is necessary to develop information system technology that is in line with the company's business. This technology development is based on business architecture which produces a company blueprint and is assisted by the open group architecture framework (TOGAF) which can help analyze company needs. The results of this research are in the form of recommendations which will later be proposed so that benefits for the company can be achieved more quickly.</span>

Framework for interoperable service architecture development

Interoperability is a key success factor for digital public services. Addressing the required interoperability principles in public service architectures is difficult, since a multitude of different layers of interoperability as well as of architecture development must be covered in complex real-world situations. Architecture development frameworks provide an instrument to systematically and holistically design and manage architectures of complex and interoperable digital public service contexts. Interoperable public service architectures resulting from the application of architecture development frameworks further need constant evaluation and modification to keep these architectures relevant and up-to-date. Different methodologies such as the “Design Science Research Methodology” (DSRM) or Enterprise Architecture Frameworks like “The Open Group Architecture Framework” (TOGAF) provide methodical foundations in the creation of interoperable public service solutions. However, these methodologies only target some of the needed aspects at a time. To address this challenge, the paper proposes an agile framework for the design, evaluation, and maintenance of interoperable public service architectures, based on DSRM, TOGAF, and other relevant approaches from literature. The “Framework for Interoperable Service Architecture Development” (FISAD) is designed following the DSRM. FISAD comprises seven phases, which integrate the four interoperability layers put forward in the European Interoperability Framework (EIF) and the architectural design phases (business, data, application and technology architecture) covered in the Architecture Development Method (ADM) of TOGAF in an incremental fashion along the DSRM. To demonstrate how it works, FISAD is applied to the use-case of harmonizing pre-qualification and Digital Purchasing Systems (DPS) processes in the pre-award phase of public procurement. The effectiveness of FISAD is verified on the use-case, providing further insights for the realization of interoperability along a systematic and holistic approach.

A TOGAF based interoperable health information system needs assessment for practitioner–patient interaction

AbstracteHealth systems have been created in most developing countries to facilitate the functioning of healthcare operations and as such various healthcare applications are existing as fragmented silo systems. Such autonomous standalone systems do not communicate through a network thereby making it a challenge to share healthcare data. Therefore, to re‐engineer health information systems (HISs) to develop interoperable adaptive enterprise architecture (EA) systems for healthcare, the study aimed to discover and capture healthcare interoperability functional imperatives through understanding the expectations of healthcare practitioners and patients on post‐development of an interoperable HIS. Therefore, the study's aim was to determine the HISs interoperability perceived functional expectations by both patients and practitioners in fulfilling their healthcare receipt and provision needs in an integrated healthcare environment, respectively. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) was used as the main study framework to guide the classification of the expectations from the HIS by patients and practitioners deriving the needs from the four domains which are, business architecture (BA), application architecture (AA), data architecture (DA), and technical architecture. The study used interviews and questionnaire surveys to collect qualitative and quantitative data respectively. The study used purposive sampling to select interview participants. A total of 19 interviews were conducted with healthcare practitioners. Questionnaires were collected from 71 healthcare practitioners and 143 patients and analyzed quantitatively respectively to understand the most significant needs anticipated in an interoperable HIS. The research targeted age groups of at least 20 years and above. The study discovered that patients and practitioners expect the interoperable healthcare environment to support the acquisition of disease knowledge through healthcare surveillance synergies; create healthcare awareness through coordinated digital interactions; augmentation of healthcare intelligence for patient‐care through the healthcare knowledgebase; allow treatment collaboration by various healthcare practitioners in the healthcare ecosystem and mostly achieving a guaranteed healthcare system security and assurance environment.
