Introduction
Our approach allows overcome the problem of
“Information System Interoperability”
Main components:
 Intelligent Document;
 CID (Cooperative Intelligent Document);
Sirolo, 10/08/2005 Dott. Romeo Pruno – romeo.pruno@unicam.it 4

Introduction
The core of this model is the
“Ontology Description”

Administrative and Semantic Cooperation
Ontology Description allows the formalization of a
document model that includes concepts and
relationships
Ontology
Description

Administrative and Semantic Cooperation
The Ontology is only part of a general
infrastructure able to cover various aspects of
the system:
 Administrative Cooperation;
 System scalability;
 Knowledge access and Information sharing;

Administrative and Semantic Cooperation
Kinds (Born) Kinds (Citizen)
-Born Certificate -Citizen Certificate
-Born Certificate - Paternity/Maternity -Residence Certificate
Born Citizen
-Identity Certificate -Electoral List Certificate
Register: Stato Civile
Kinds (Married)
Death Marriage
Kinds (Death)
-Married Certificate
-Death Certificate -Family Certificate
-Existence in life certificate
In this picture we propose an example of document ontology
Each components specialize the main class of “Stato Civile”

Administrative and Semantic Cooperation
Each PA can create its sub-definition of
“General PA Ontology” for its necessity

Administrative and Semantic Cooperation
An example of Semantic Cooperation is
represented by using a cooperation of services
(via Web Services)

On-Line forms for standard Cooperation
Actually, the acquisition of online/offline data has
to answer questions:
 How are the forms visualized on different
browsers?
 How can a solution be implemented for data
acquisitions that provides the same mechanism
of validation on more different devices?

On-Line forms for standard Cooperation
 XSD Schema, that is provide by Ontology;
 Document Information, (author,version,typology,…)
 XSLT, web presentation

Intelligent Document
The PAs (Public Administrations) can take
advantage of the use of “e-Document”, in
particular:
 decreasing of the cost of press, elaboration,
distribution and delivery;
 decreasing typing errors;
 sharing and/or accessing to information;
Sirolo, 10/08/2005 Dott. Romeo Pruno – romeo.pruno@unicam.it 16

Intelligent Document
The end-user can take advantage:
 decreasing time of manual compilation;
 using electronic delivery of the document;
 decreasing the delivery cost;
This analysis shows the necessity to create a
workflow management process that
contemplates the fruition inside the applicative
domain.

Intelligent Document as result of a service orchestration

Intelligent Document
The main features of an Intelligent Document are:
Multi Composed;

Multi Version;

Multi Dependence;

Multi Data Type;

Multi Platform;

CID (Cooperative Intelligent Document)
CID is a system that allows the interoperability among PAs
The CID features are:
involved government level;

data sharing;

data location;

data access;

Sirolo, 10/08/2005 Dott. Romeo Pruno – romeo.pruno@unicam.it 21

CID (Cooperative Intelligent Document)
The principal features are:
 Point-To-Point Architecture, the participants reside on a
same level of interaction and abstraction;
 Orchestration, the interoperability between PAs is a
significant part of the compilation process of Intelligent
Document;
 Interoperability, the sharing of a common ontology
allows public administration to specialize part of the
general PA Ontology;

Future Work
So far, we have considered a conceptual component model
for Intelligent Document;
Actually, we are implementing follow components:
Ontology;

Security layer;

Management Component;

Data Repository;

Our next work will be the Ontology definition for Intelligent
Document, where we’ll implement a model for ontology
description and schema definition.
