Abstract: Cities are being equipped with multiple information systems to provide public services for city officials, officers, and citizens. There are problems with efficient service implementation and provision, e.g., data islands and function overlaps between systems and applications. Service-oriented portals are efficient at facilitating information sharing and collaborative work between city systems and users. The goal is to make cities responsive, agile and to provide composite services efficiently and cost efficiently. A service-oriented framework for city portals is proposed to design, integrate and streamline city systems and applications. A model-driven collaborative development platform is developed for service-oriented digital portals of the proposed framework. The architecture and implementation issues of the platform are discussed. The service identification policies are discussed within the framework. A case study has been developed and evaluated on the platform to provide a composite service, i.e., a traffic search service on a city portal.

Collaborative virtual geographic environments: A case study of air pollution simulation

“…Collaboration has been widely addressed in the domain of information science [11,17,29,40]. Collaborative virtual geographic environments (CVGE) are little tackled, even though they belong to information science to some extent.…”

Designing, formalizing, and evaluating a flexible architecture for integrated service delivery: combining event-driven and service-oriented architectures

“…These 6 guidelines can be successfully applied to our EDSOA model as follows. (1 A very recent project to realize a SOA that offers Web services to city officials, officers, citizens, and tourists is discussed in [7]. Specifically, a SOA for city portals is proposed to design, integrate, and streamline city systems and applications.…”

“…When interpreting the SOA design, however, it is not made clear what the role is of computer-based actors and human actors that perform processes leading to service provisioning. An advantage of the largely user-oriented approach used to design the architecture shown in [7] is that user preferences can be taken into account when interacting with the user via the portal. This can lead to an improvement of service delivery when interacting with returning users.…”

“…Numerous research projects can be identified in literature that have resulted in service-oriented architectures (SOAs) as a possible technology to provide support to realize ISD (see e.g., [6,7]). Each service provider can make services accessible as Web services, which can be integrated and made available by means of a SOA.…”

A systematic literature review of interoperable architecture for e-government portals

“…In addition, the previous works address the quality attributes that are security, reliability, usability, and performance. City One-stop Portal is the only one architecture that addresses all of these attributes [15]. Security is the attribute that mostly addressed in the architecture, which is 47%, or eight architectures.…”
