Interconnected Government Services: An Approach toward Smart Government

The rapid expansion of new technologies and services significantly affects society's development and initiates significant changes within public administration. Many have decided to implement citizen-centric, data-driven, and performance-focused governance and prepare to transform the existing e-government system into a smart government. Along the way, they have encountered problems such as flaws in existing legislation and in the integration of heterogeneous infrastructure from technical, financial, and privacy perspectives. We propose a new approach to information system modeling that introduces an integration layer for existing databases and services and suggests the application of several innovative technologies to achieve better problem-solving, optimal utilization of resources, and policy innovation. To test the effectiveness of the proposed solution, we have used corresponding weighted digraph models to confirm that the proposed solution achieves the desired effects. We have used the time required to collect documents to measure similarity. The obtained results prove the efficiency of the proposed model and indicate that the same model could be used elsewhere in public administration.
