An End-User Friendly Service Delivery Platform for the Public Sector

  • Chapter
Case Studies in Service Innovation

Abstract

We present a service innovation scenario where semantic web services and visual process specification allow public sector workers to easily modify and adapt administrative services and processes, thus responding to new challenges such as the implementation of the European Services Directive and other recent developments. Our use case is based upon a novel Service Delivery Platform developed in the EU FP7 project SOA4All.
