Based on our research concerning enterprise architecture (EA) in the Finnish public sector, we discuss how EA concept and tool need to be developed to support government business ecosystem and organization design. Our research context indicates, beyond a federal government or a state one, that even a single municipality, like a city concern, can be perceived as an ecosystem of its sectoral domains, subsidiaries and such. We outline a vision of an overall ontology-based, shared EA repository for the-whole-of-government current state descriptions and specify the central design principles and functional requirements for such a system, illustrating some potential use cases of it. Based on interview data from four smart city cases in Finland, we suggest a management model for the government ecosystem architecture target state design, specifically a design process for co-creating new services in the ecosystem. Further, we outline some principles for government ecosystem architecture management.

“…Thus efforts have been done to review government EA papers published in China [44] and 71 articles about applying EA in public sectors published during the past 15 years [6]. More specifically, smart city frameworks were reviewed [46,47] from an EA perspective or based on EA requirements, several EA frameworks were compared and mapped to provide guidance on how to choose EA frameworks [45].…”

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is an important tool when developing e-governments and smart cities as it can help improve the alignment between business goals and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) implementations. Although some studies have been performed to study the applications of EA in public sectors, governments, and cities, most of such studies are scattered and there is no strong research stream. As a result, it is difficult to effectively accumulate relevant knowledge and experiences. In this research, we attempt to explore research streams and trends by analyzing why existing studies were conducted, what outcomes were produced, and what methods were used in these studies. Starting from these three questions, a thematic framework was developed, and a literature synthesis was presented. The result shows the complexity of this area, the importance of balancing technical factors and non-technical factors, the challenges brought by nonfunctional requirements. Despite the importance of EA frameworks, few studies have been found in which government or city relevant requirements were addressed in a general way. Such findings are expected to provide useful insights for possible future research in this area.

“…The benefits of applying EA are visible in increased stability of an enterprise in an environment of constant change, better strategic agility, and improved alignment with business strategy. If a smart city is modelled as an urban enterprise [5], enterprise architecture approach can support its development and transformation based on the city strategic plan.…”

Abstract. There is a significant challenge in the smart cities implementation because it is not straightforward to align the smart city strategy with the impact on the life of quality. Stakeholders' concerns are multiple and diverse, and there are a high interdependency and heterogeneity of technologies and solutions. To tackle this challenge, cities can be understood as enterprises. Enterprise Architecture (EA) approach can be applied to support its development and transformation. This approach specifies core requirements on business, information, and technology domains, which are essential to model architecture components and to establish relations between these domains. Existing smart cities frameworks describe different components and domains. However, the main domain requirements and the relations between them are still missing. This paper identifies essential requirements of enterprise architecture in smart cities. These requirements will be used to review and compare current smart city frameworks.
