ABSTRACT
Government initiatives that provides ICT services are being discussed in all levels of public
administration. In a few of these cases, semantics are considered in the projects of
availability of data and services to society, which involves: heterogeneous systems,
duplication of information, dissolution of government agencies or wrong use of knowledge.
As a way to generate scientific, technological, economic, social or cultural value, the
knowledge engineering evidences frameworks that consider the semantics of information
and the interoperability of processes, defining a standard vocabulary such as the ontologies.
The purpose of this paper is to highlight an overview of research on e-government and the
use of ontologies from the perspective of knowledge engineering. Thus, we present current
initiatives researching the openness of government generating value in an interdisciplinary
paradigm. As a result, governance characteristics in different areas are demonstrated,
which requires an interdisciplinary study for solving practical problems. Among the
challenges, the reengineering processes under the criteria of accessibility, interoperability
are pointed, and reliability, availability, maintainability and safety, also known as "RAMS",
are considered as well.
