16. What is expected? - 2

26. Comparison with other approaches Yes. Integration follows pre-defined forms (according to LE reference models) A complete set of LE reference models is specified and implemented using generic workflow technologies. LE instances are created dynamically. Active. A dialogue is performed with citizens to identify their needs and circumstances OneStopGov Yes. Life-events are dynamically created (on-the-fly) as compositions of back-office services. Services are created as compositions of Web Services. They can be also dynamically created based on their semantics and citizens circumstances. Dynamic. Info is dynamically fetched (e.g. using metadata) Dynamic binding Yes. Each service is implemented as a static workflow of components that may run in different PAs Services are hard-coded and often consist of components. Passive. Static info on LE is provided Hard-coded No. No services. Citizens are re-directed to other portals. Passive. Static Info on LE is provided Loosely-coupled No. Services are hard-coded at the portal. Passive. LE are lists of topics Monolithic back-office integration Services Portal (info provision)
