On a worldwide scale, information and communication technologies are undergoing fundamental shifts, and research has been done to investigate the mechanisms between e-government and e-governance in light of these informational and technological shifts. There have been many discussions about different e-governance case studies, and the distinctions between e-governance and e-government, as well as their respective benefits, have been aptly investigated from the point of view of government implementation. This current paper also focuses on deploying an e-governance mechanism and addressing the difficulties and constraints involved. Finally, practical problems regarding the adoption of e-governance have been addressed by online administration and Internet legislation. Future research has to focus on legitimate challenges and how they statistically relate to e-governance and artificial intelligence in various public and commercial institutions.

The digital transformation of public administration aims to modernize public services by integrating digital technologies. This includes digital administration, which uses digital tools and platforms to facilitate interaction between citizens and the government. The goal is to simplify administrative procedures, expedite processing times, and reduce administrative burdens. The maturity of online services represents the level of development and adoption of digital services by the government, with advanced features such as personalized services and secure online transactions. This article seeks to assess the effectiveness and suitability of digital services provided by the Moroccan public administration in meeting citizens' expectations. The adoption of digital technologies in governance aims to create a more citizen-centered approach, offering efficient and responsive services. The integration of digital tools has also led to e-government initiatives, promoting good governance practices and ensuring transparency in administrative processes. The Moroccan public administration has made significant progress in implementing digital solutions to enhance the delivery of public services. Online public services have gained importance, providing citizens with the benefits of convenience and time savings. Personalization is one of the highlights of the digital administration era. Tailoring public services to the unique needs of citizens promotes inclusivity and responsiveness. Digital transformation has equipped Moroccan public administrations with the necessary tools to offer personalized services, thereby enhancing the overall citizen experience. The adoption of digital technologies promotes citizen engagement, encourages good governance practices, and fosters transparency. To fully harness the potential of digital technologies, ongoing efforts are required to address challenges and ensure that no citizen is left behind in this era of digital progress.

From the analysis of consolidated data such as: Index of Digitality of the Economy and Society of the European Commission, National Institute of Statistics, Internet Management Committee in Brazil, Digital In, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, Fundação Getúlio Vargas, among other sources, this article aims to contribute to the academic debate, trying to trace a correlation in the pattern adopted in electronic public policies applied to the Brazilian and Portuguese reality. Starting from the aspect of how these governments are thinking about the use of the internet and its relationship with the restrictions of citizen digital interactivity in the sense of understanding how they see forming a thought in relation to the use of the internet by these governments, and their adherence to the concept of New Management Public (NGP).

The article aims to suggest a discussion on the influence of neoliberal thinking on the design of the e-government project in Brazil. Starting from the analysis of consolidated data such as: Internet Steering Committee in Brazil, Brazilian Institute of Geography, Statistics and Getúlio Vargas Foundation and Digital In. Trying to trace a correlation in the pattern adopted of electronic public policies applied to the Brazilian reality and the lack of interactivity and social participation as being one of the characteristics of the minimal state of neoliberal thought.

Introduction: the portals of local government institutions have become an important source of information where the authorities communicate with citizens, providing them with some e-services, within what is called electronic government. Objective: the main objective of this study is to analyze if the e-services provided by the Dominican municipalities of more than 100 thousand inhabitants have positively impacted the interaction of local governments with their citizens, increasing citizen participation and promoting transparency in public management. Materials and methods: to carry out the study, information was collected between January and June 2018 following the e-services model of municipal e-government proposed by Esteves (2005), which illustrates the phases or levels of development by which any e-government initiative of local government should contemplate. Results: the findings show that the two best Dominican city councils obtain an e-Value of 3.75 points, of 11.25 possible points, so it can be concluded that the analyzed e-services are still partially offered, with many opportunities for improvement. It has been found that some municipalities have incomplete information or with pending configuration on their web portals. Conclusion: the study shows that the e-services offered have not increased citizen participation, nor transparency, because not all relevant information is made available to citizens, the same e-services are not offered in all municipalities, and citizens do not really know what their municipalities offers them.

According to the importance assigned to public services, improvements have been sought in knowledge representation in the domain of Electronic Government (eGov). Academic and governmental initiatives seek consensus on processes and entities that compound a government institution. The approach through ontologies allows us to define, in a well-grounded fashion, entities in domains of knowledge. Ontologies are adopted worldwide and appear in two connotations: ontology as a discipline brings together philosophical practices discussed over 2,000 years in Metaphysics; ontology as an artifact studies representation artifacts inherited from Librarianship practices, with the difference that, since ontologies are computer-oriented, they are not suitable for encompassing social, cultural and historical aspects. To understand the theoretical foundation that involves ontologies and eGov, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was planned and performed as part of ongoing research. The purpose of this article is to portray such an SRL, revealing state of the art on ontologies for eGov in the development of ontological representation artifacts. Hundreds of works were identified, among which a portion was separated by criteria and analyzed. We concluded that there is a reasonable number of eGov ontological models, which have been identified and listed for reuse, in addition to the need for national initiatives in the same direction.

The article aims to analyze the impact of the digitalization of Public Administration activities, labeled Electronic Government, on the ability to fulfill fundamental social rights. It adopts as a base the concept of digital invisibility, defined as the inability to have access to the digital government, mainly based on empirical data to access the world wide web. It uses the deductive methodology from the bibliographic analysis about the matter. It verifies the hypothesis that the use of technological tools as unique mediators poses a particular risk to social rights due to digital invisibility. Taking into account the objective dimension of fundamental rights, it concludes that the State must guarantee digital access broadly, especially to vulnerable groups. State recipients should not be imposed insurmountable obstacles in the search for the fulfillment of constitutional promises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A decisive step for deepening the studies on the practices of electronic governance in public administration is the investigation of the academic production on the subject, so that a systematized view about what the Brazilian academy says can be elaborated. Thus, the general objective of this research was to analyze the national academic production about the use of technologies in the electronic governance practices in the public management. A systematic literature review was conducted and the results pointed to several challenges, including the underutilization of the interactive potential of the virtual environment, the inequality among citizens in accessibility to public portals, the discrepancy between the different municipalities in terms of infrastructure and appropriation of ICTs, failure to comply with various aspects of the LAI. It is concluded that the identified challenges refer mainly to contextual aspects in which the pace of change of public managers and the mobilization of citizens are often out of step with contemporary technological possibilities.

The article aims to provide a theoretical review of some works and authors on the subject of electronic government applied to the Brazilian reality. In this way, this study suggests a discussion on how electronic governance is making available information for the participation of civil society in public communication actions through the Internet and if the Brazilian government has the characteristic of promoting, in fact, interactivity with the society looking for the full social participation of the population in the e-gov.

This article aims to analyze how measures to promote Internet access, and users' competencies influence the use of electronic government services in Brazil. We adopted Sen's Capability Approach as theoretical framework in order to analyze the microdata from the ICT Households 2013, a national-wide survey coordinated by the Regional Center for Studies on Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br). The results indicate that for social classes C (middle class), D and E (lower class) the increase in the odds ratio of the use of e-gov services is strongly influenced by both internet access preferably at home or work (individual access) as well as the users' internet skills.

The adoption, use, and spread of the New Information and Communication Technologies (NTICs) in public organizations has been a top interest matter during the last few years; among others, because from them it is expected a certain change in the relationship between State and society. In contrast with perspectives that overvalue the role of technology in promoting a more open and efficient public management, this article explores an important dimension for a full development of potentialities granted to these new technologies: the integration of the human aspect. So, the analysis focuses on the potentiality of the electronic government to foster citizen participation. For this purposes we reviewed the websites of the 32 capital municipalities of the departments of Colombia and we assessed the presence of a cluster of characteristics aimed to provide information, citizen consultation, and an active citizen participation and commitment.

This article aims to highlight the importance of the principle of neutrality in e-government. With an example, highlights the need to regulate electronic government ensuring that the rules are neutral from a technological point of view. Parti-cular reference is made to the case of the alternative electronic identification (electronic signature and digital signature) of citizens. If technological neutrality does not guarantee high economic costs are generated. These costs can become a way of excludingthe majorityofthe citizens of the benefits of e-government.

The e-government websites (e-gov) have been much analyzed from the point of view of the technical aspects; there are few studies that evaluate the same from the point of view of the users of the services offered by these sites. This study proposed a model of analysis services sites e-gov evaluated the technique of content analysis of these identified sites and service levels of the attributes of the model. The main contributions of the study are: a critique of the weaknesses in key sites analyzed and a proposal of a comprehensive model that facilitates the orientation to meet the main dimensions to be considered, namely: efficiency, fulfillment, system availability, privacy, site and synergy. From the managerial point of view, the study contributed a model of easy application that may help identify the most important aspects of e-gov services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Electronic Government is an important dimension in the process of governance modernization based on the use of information technology and communication, influencing the growth of the digital economy and the information society, promoting sustainable development, helping to reduce levels of poverty and inequality by providing greater accessibility to state services and socio-economic opportunities. The introduction of new applications and technological skills have had a high innovative impact in the functioning of the public administration. The work presented here is the result of a study on the implementation of Electronic Government in Cape Verde, answering questions related to the adoption and use of e-government, as well as its impacts, particularly in terms of the satisfaction determinants. With this aim we effected a quantitative study based on a questionnaire, having reached the conclusion that the e-government in Cabo Verde has a positive impact on the population.

Over the past decade, the federal government has coordinated and articulated actions to implement projects with emphasis on initiatives to use ICTs in their relations with citizens, private sector and society in general. Considering a strong movement to put the citizen at the center of this process, this article attempts, from a quantitative/qualitative research, verify on what stage of evolution are the sites of governmental Brazilian courts of auditors. From this analysis it was possible to map points to be improved and to establish a ranking of the sites, in view of the right of access, availability of information, participation and monitoring the implementation of public policies.
