Abstract
The importance of efficient E-Government services change management system is increasingly due to the evolution of it. But, the most system management tasks are still performed manually. This can be easier error-made, high time-consuming and more human-needed. So we present a Slight-Ontology-Framework (SOF) to perform the semi-automatic change management. The main ideas can be shown as the following aspects: One, it uses a set of ontologies to describe E-Government services and introduces meta-modeling theory to analyze the features of changes. Two, according to these services’ characters, it reduces the description capability of OWL-S and combined itself with Business Process Modeling theory to make it higher pliability and easier system-implemented. Even though we use E-Government domain as the example, the approach is a general solution in other domains.
