About the Workshop

Workshop is jointly organised by the OASIS eGov Member Section and the Belgian Federal Ministry of Finance [SPFF]

The objective of this one day Workshop is to introduce ICT solutions in the context of public finance, including tax, benefits and payments and exchange experience amongst professionals of use cases focusing on SOA [Service oriented architecture] and web-based services.

The Workshop will bring together a wide range of officials from various ministries concerned with tax, revenue and related public finance issues, members of the secretariats of several international and European organizations, and representatives of technology companies and industry/trade associations.

The OASIS eGovernment Member Section has developed the Workshop to promote interoperability and the use of open standards in this rapidly expanding sector, which is forecast to continue to grow despite the financial crises afflicting major markets.

The four main themes will be: Advancing Open Standards in Government using SOA and web services; second, Exchange of SOA Experience in the revenue and tax sector; third, International Cross-border use cases; and fourth, Practical Solutions for Consumers/Citizens and Tax-payers.
