Abstract:
The huge amount of resources that are being devoted to eGovernment projects makes possible the soaring of
new solutions. This onrush of contributions leads us to some shortcomings such as lack of interoperability or
poor scalability. To overcome this situation, the use of Life Events is proposed. Introduced in the paper, Life
Events are the cornerstone for a semantic proposal to provide eGovernmentservices in an organized manner.
A methodology for the use of Life Events and, also, the modelling of the entire system are presented.
