Abstract
The dawn of the XML era appears insufficient to guarantee a holistic approach in electronic transactions, as long as the semantics confusion, the lack of a common understanding of the underlying data and the business standards dilemma prevail and prevent data interoperability issues from being resolved. As various e-Government initiatives are being realized throughout the world, an imperative need for creating unified governmental data models that will facilitate the seamless exchange of information and the deployment of interoperable systems in Central, Regional and Municipal Government emerges. After attempting to identify relevant research that has been undertaken in the field of data modeling, the present paper analyzes the scope and the objectives of the business information modeling oriented towards governmental data. Based on UBL (Universal Business Language) and CCTS (Core Components Technical Specification), a component-based data modeling methodology enhancing business-to-government interoperability is proposed, creating the basis for a repository of governmental data models. The approach adopted may also serve as guidelines for creating and transitioning between "generic - harmonized" and "specific - contextualized" documents. A real world paradigm extracted from the Intrastat Statement document finally comes to prove the soundness of the proposed methodology.
