By employing semantic technologies the Access-eGov project will support semantic interoperability among e-government services across organisational, regional and linguistic borders. For service providers (on all levels of public administration - local, regional, national, and European) Access-eGov will enable introduction of a (new) e-service to the world of e-government interoperability in an easy way. The government service registered in the Access-eGov may be localized, contracted and used automatically through agents and other IT components.

For citizens and business users the Access-eGov will provide two basic categories of services. Firstly, it will provide a meta-service - depending on the needs and context of the user Access-eGov will find (identify) traditional and/or e-government services relevant to the given life event or business episode. Secondly, once the relevant services are found, Access-eGov will generate a scenario consisting of elementary government services. Usually these scenarios will be of "hybrid" nature - i.e. combination of elementary traditional and e-services - realization of which leads to a requested outcome (e.g. to get a new driving license, if you lost both your ID and the old driving license etc.). At the realisation of the scenario the user will be guided by a virtual personal assistant. Access-eGov is built on peer-to-peer and service oriented architecture.

Component-based security infrastructure provides a complete portfolio of necessary security services (authentication, authorization, attribute management, access control, data protection, auditing) that are accessible through web service interfaces. All the Access-eGov components will be delivered as an open source solution. The system developed will be validated also by the non EU project partner (GUC, Egypt), which will lead to increased employability of the system due to taking into account cross-cultural and language issues.
