THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPEN HARBOR INITIATIVE

The efficiency of harbor management plays a significant economic role to a nation in various aspects, including trading business, logistics and the manufacturing. The visibility of harbor activities and management determines the performance of the whole logistic chain. The harbor agencies continuously strive to provide better operation models to the stakeholders by collecting and analyzing these data populated from the activities. To expedite this improvement, an Open Innovation Model is called to encourage more special interest groups to contribute their works; the harbor agencies disclose the datasets derived from those servicing activities through the government Open Data platforms. Since there is no clear picture of how these contributors would utilize the datasets for their researches, there is a considerable requirement gap between the dataset provider - the harbor agencies and the consumers - the interest groups. This paper surveyed the open datasets provided by the advanced harbors using the textual analysis and the text mining approaches to emerge the potential requirements for the Open Harbor initiative followers such as Taiwan. By taking the example of Taiwan Open Harbor initiative, it reexamined the potential meaning against the already opened datasets and tangibly identified where they could be further enhanced to bring more value to the interest groups. Based on these findings, this paper presents the initiative realization models through the Enterprise Architecture - a methodology of defining the information systems from the strategic planning to the realization -processes as the recommendations to those pursuing operation eminence harbor agencies

Automatic extraction and representation of geographic entities in eGovernment

In this paper we present a system that automatically extracts and geocodes named entities from unstructured, natural language textual documents. The system uses the Geo-Net-PT ontology and Google maps as auxiliary data sources. This type of system is particularly useful to automate the geocoding of existing information in e-government applications, which usually requires human intervention. Within the paper we introduce the relevant human language technologies, describe the system that was developed, present and discuss the preliminary results and draw the relevant conclusions and future work

EVALUASI AKSESIBILITAS WEBSITE COVID19.KALTIMPROV.GO.ID MENGGUNAKAN SORTSITE 5.3.5

This article aims to evaluate the accessibility of a government website, covid19.kaltimprov.go.id which created for disseminating the official information regarding the spread of covid-19 in East Kalimantan. Accessibility is an important aspect of a website because it indicates how far the range of information dissemination of such website. In this article we use SortSite 5.3.5, an online website testing software. The result shows that accessibility of covid19.kaltimprov.go.id still score below average with so many pages with accessibility issues. It is therefore need attention from East Kalimantan government to improve the accessibility level of their website.Keywords: Accessibility, Website, Covid-19, East Kalimanta

eGovernment Interoperability Issues in Lithuania

The paper analyzes the interoperability importance and role in development of eGovernment. The interoperability challenges was faced in different EU countries since 2000. System complexity, multiplicity and diversity in the public sector is posing extreme challenges to common interoperability standards the eGovernment Interoperability Frameworks (eGIFs) pose as a cornerstone for the provision of one-stop, fully electronic services to businesses and citizens. The paper analyzes eGovernment development preconditions in Lithuania, overview and good practice experience in developing eGovernment interoperability framework at EU level (European Interoperability Framework) and national levels – UK, Germany and Greece. Comparing these frameworks by different criteria the guidelines for developing eGovernment interoperability framework in Lithuania are designed. The project for Lithuania eGovernment Interoperability framework development is supported by Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Lithuania and State Science Fundation

Planning for Digital Transformation: Implications for Institutional Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise Architecture (EA) and its management have received considerable attention from the academic and practical audience. Despite a very wide treatment on EA, research on EA in the academic sector has not received similar attention till date. There is also a growing interest on digital transformation with evidences suggesting that academic institutions have increased their investment into digital technology which prompts a need to reflect on how this technology affects these institutions and the educational processes. In the dissertation, we propose to link these concerns based on three research issues, through which we explore the objectives an academic institute wants to achieve in planning for digital transformation and the necessary institutional readiness factors of a digital enterprise architecture, and then propose a design framework to support the endeavour. The dissertation employs both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. Implications for research and practice are also delineated at the end

Towards A Design Of A Software-Defined Manufacturing System Based On A Systematic Literature Review For Enabling A Decentralised High-Rate Electrolyser Production

Hydrogen is critical for the transition to an environmentally sound and reliable energy supply. This transition requires large capacities of performant and cost-effective electrolysers. Although performant electrolysers already exist, they cannot yet be manufactured at a high rate in series production. The project H2Giga-FRHY is researching a reference factory for large-scale production of electrolysers, developing new production and testing modules. As an essential building block of the reference factory, a research group at Fraunhofer IPA is designing and implementing a comprehensive software-defined manufacturing system (SDMS), which supports the decentralized high-rate production of electrolysers and allows for far-reaching insights regarding high-rate capability, quality, and cost of products, processes, and technologies involved. For the SDMS implementation, different enterprise architecture (EA) approaches are considered and evaluated in the scope of a structured literature review with respect to criteria arising from the project context and related research questions. In this paper, an approach to designing a software-defined manufacturing system is described, and its necessity is based on the use case-specific criteria discussed

Assessment Of Interoperability: The Case Of e-Government Services

Governments started e-government strategies to renew the public sector and eliminate existing bureaucracy and therefore reduce costs. Interoperability appears as the mean for accomplishing the interlinking of information systems, applications and ways of working not only within governments but also in their interaction with the administration, enterprises and public sector. The main source of administration costs is the traditional use of paper as the linkage element between public agencies. Integrated electronic processes between public agencies can be the solution to reduce these costs and create a more efficient public sector. This paper proposes an approach for measuring the benefit of incorporating interoperability in e-government. This approach is based on the identification and analysis of certain processes (business process modelling) and on the activity based costing method. In particular, this approach concerns the measuring of benefit of applying interoperability in e-government services

Barriers to Government Interoperability Frameworks Adoption

Interoperability is a crucial issue for electronic government due to the need of agencies’ information systems to be totally integrated and able to exchange data in a seamless way. A way to achieve it is by the establishing of a Government Interoperability Framework (GIF). However, this is a difficulty task to be carried out, due not only to technological issues but also other aspects. This research is expected to contribute to the identification of the barriers to the adoption of interoperability standards for electronic government. The paper presents the preliminary findings from a case study of the Brazilian Government framework (e-PING), based on analyses of documents and face-to-face interviews. It points out some aspects that may influence the establishment of these standards, becoming barriers to their adoption

A Methodology for Ontology-based Knowledge-level Inoperability among Parliaments

Most of the information systems (IS) interoperability research and practice in the e-government area has been focused on the operational level, aiming mainly at enabling the delivery of integrated electronic services involving several government agencies to citizens and enterprises based on the ‘one-stop shop’ model, and the support of co-operation among government agencies from the same or even different countries at the operational level. This paper is dealing with knowledge-level interoperability, which aims at the support of higher knowledge-intensive tasks of government, such as the formulation of legislation. In particular, it presents an ontology-based methodology for achieving knowledge-level interoperability among IS of Parliaments. It is based on the common use by Parliaments of the ontology of the ‘Issue-Based Information Systems’ (IBIS) framework for codifying the public policy related knowledge produced in the various stages of legislation formulation. Also, an application of the proposed methodology is presented for the case of the Law concerning ‘Contracts of Voluntary Cohabitation’ that has been recently passed by the Greek Parliament; its evaluation resulted in a proposal for a refinement of the above ontology that can be used for achieving a better codification of the knowledge that the main content (articles) of Laws contains
