A multimedia document model for e-government information systems

E-government processes are dedicated to the improvement of the efficiency, inexpensiveness and accessibility of public administration services: dematerialization activities, introduced to manage bureaucratic digital documents in a proper way, are among the main tasks of the e-government works. In this paper we present a novel RDF model of digital documents for improving the dematerialization effectiveness, that constitutes the starting point of an information system able to manage documental streams in the most efficient way. Such model takes into account the important need that is required in several e-government applications which, depending on authorities or final users or time, provides different representations of the same multimedia contents.
