Abstract

The expansive growth in implementation of e-Government initiatives combined with the high rate of failures has exponentially increased the interest in locating and applying the appropriate project management procedures. E-Government project management is identified as an area with an inherent need for reusing and exchanging information. Ontologies, by modelling concepts and their relationships, make possible descriptions of domains in a machine processable way. A feature like that is especially useful in the field of e-Government project management. Public administration officials, decision makers, implementers and politicians, show great interest in reusing and exchanging information concerning project management procedure, in an attempt to standardize the management operation, reuse of existing knowledge, improve collaboration and increase successful rates. The present paper presents an e-Government project management ontology comprised of the main concepts that should be managed during project implementation. It intends to encourage collaboration for the excellence and productivity of the management of e-Government project processes and enable the interoperability and reuse of knowledge between all factors and stakeholders related to the implementation of such types of projects.
