This product is targeted at those stakeholders that want to use the Access-eGov platform and components to build or enhance an infrastructure for service delivery to citizens / business users or want to provide (i.e. sell) services to administrations.

The guidelines cover the complete life cycle of an application built using the Access-eGov platform and components. In particular, the guidelines describe the Access-eGov platform and components, their usage for different kinds of applications (e.g. responsibility finding, service annotation) and the intended use during each phase of the application development life cycle, i.e. during project initiation, system analysis, design, implementation, testing, conversion, and use.

The guidelines include instructions on how to:

1. identify the challenges of cross-organisational information management in the given eGovernment area,
2. set up cross-organisational agreements with the partners involved,
3. adapt the organisational handling of (Web) information management,
4. making use of semantic standards (e.g. ontologies) for semantic mark-up of Web resources,
5. integrate the Access-eGov components into a given IT infrastructure and interoperability set-up.
