Regulatory Requirements Compliance in e-Government System Development: an Ontology Framework

Abstract

Electronic government (e-Government) is increasingly gaining attention by the government and researcher to shape the public sector into digital society through enacting several e-Government system development policies and regulations. Hence, the compliance of regulatory requirement from these policies and regulations become an important accountability in e-Government project development where the concepts of regulatory requirements compliance is still scattered in the e-Government domain. This paper presents an ontology framework that describes the formal and explicit specification of the concepts of regulatory requirements compliance and their relations in e-Government system development. The ontology engineering technique 101 and Systematic Literature Review (SLR) were used in the process of developing the ontology framework of e-Government regulatory requirements compliance (eGovRRC). The e-Government system analyst can use this framework as a reference model to understand and conceptualize the interlinked set of clearly defined concepts of regulatory requirements compliance in e-Government system development projects.
