The Relationship between Transparency and E-Government: An Empirical Support Abu-Shanab, Emad A. Wimmer, Maria A.; Janssen, Marijn; Macintosh, Ann; Scholl, Hans Jochen; Tambouris, Efthimios E-government requires more attention from researchers to investigate the factors that predict the success of such initiative. This study used secondary data from international reports to investigate the relationship between transparency and e-government development. Two measures used for transparency: the corruption perception index (CPI) and the open budget index (OBI) and were regressed to see their prediction power for e-government readiness index (EGRI). Both relationships were significant and indicated a high prediction power of the e- government development level. Data analysis, discussion, conclusion, and future work are depicted at the end of this work.

An Account of Research on Open Government Data (2007-2012): A Systematic Literature Review Novais, Tharsis; Albuquerque, João P. De; Craveiro, Gisele S. Wimmer, Maria A.; Janssen, Marijn; Macintosh, Ann; Scholl, Hans Jochen; Tambouris, Efthimios Open Government Data (OGD) is a government policy that is being increasingly adopted by several countries around the world. Despite its growing acceptance, there are still several difficulties both in making OGD available and ensuring it is used effectively by society. A growing body of knowledge has been produced in the last few years in the e-government scientific community to address these problems. This paper conducts a systematic literature re-view on the question of OGD, which is aimed at outlining a knowledge base of the existing scientific literature on OGD produced in the period 2007-2012 that is available in the on-line databases of relevant scientific societies (ACM, AIS, IEEE). In doing so, the paper provides an overview of this knowledge base, and maps out the different research approaches that are being adopted to study OGD, its geographical scope and the application domain they refer to. The results indicate the need of broadening the geographic coverage of OGD studies and also of deepening the discussion of quality criteria for assessing open data.

A Collaborative Approach to Public Administrations Inter-organizational Business Processes Modelling Cognini, Riccard; Falcioni, Damiano; Polzonetti, Alberto; Re, Barbara Wimmer, Maria A.; Janssen, Marijn; Macintosh, Ann; Scholl, Hans Jochen; Tambouris, Efthimios The paper presents a collaborative approach to the definition of interorganizational Business Processes. Applying the proposed modeling approach multiple organizations can easily reconcile local and global views. In particular, the modeling phase is based on BPMN 2.0 standard notation and it proceeds according to the following steps: (i) all organizations collaboratively derive a communication view of the process, (ii) a local communication view is automatically deduced for each organization, and (iii) each organization models its own private process taking into account foreseen local communications. The approach is supported by a user-friendly and web based tool named HawkEye that has been successfully applied to real scenarios in the e-government domain.

Coordinating Interdependent E-Government Solutions Illustrated on the Electronic Change of Address in Switzerland Selzam, Thomas; Neuroni, Alessia C.; Riedl, Reinhard Wimmer, Maria A.; Janssen, Marijn; Macintosh, Ann; Scholl, Hans Jochen; Tambouris, Efthimios In this case study we illustrate the high complexity of a rather simple inter-agency e-government service: change of address in Switzerland. This enables us to identify typical sources and dimensions of complexity for inter-agency services in countries with decentralised competencies among government agencies. From the resulting picture we draw conclusions on how to deal with complexity - and how to avoid further dramatic increases of e-government complexity. In particular, we discuss the role of coordination of e-government service development projects plays in the fight against exploding complexity.
