Scripting applications in the public administration domain

Scripting is an approach for constructing open applications from prepackaged software components. A scripting model characterizes and standardizes the interconnection interfaces of software components appropriate to an application domain. We present a scripting model for the domain of public administration applications, and we provide a scenario of scripting applications in this domain. This scripting model is being incorporated into a prototype visual scripting tool which provides a graphical editing facility for interactively scripting applications.
