In this context, interoperability between public organizations, citizens, and enterprises seems to remain the center of interest in the public sector and national interoperability frameworks are continually revised and expanded across the globe in an effort to support the increasing need for seamless exchange of information. This paper outlines the current landscape in eGovernment interoperability, analyzing and comparing frameworks that have reached a certain degree of maturity. Their strengths and weaknesses at conceptual and implementation level are discussed together with directions for reaching consensus and aligning interoperability guidelines at a country and cross-country level.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jesma.2010100103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,15]],"date-time":"2011-02-15T15:22:27Z","timestamp":1297783347000},"page":"28-41","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Investigating the Landscape in National Interoperability Frameworks"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Yannis","family":"Charalabidis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of the Aegean, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fenareti","family":"Lampathaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitris","family":"Askounis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jesma.2010100103-0","unstructured":"Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO).
