Abstract: This paper investigates the e-government architecture issue as a means of addressing the interoperability gap. It will incorporate the new knowledge acquired in the e-government integration methodology of the interconnectivity of cross-layers. These layers include the vertical direction of strategy, business, process, service and information. Enterprise architecture mainly mediates between business and IT to minimise the gap by improving governance, agility and business integrity. All of these disciplines and principles should be applied to attain e-government transformation.

Keywords: e-government; metadata; semantics; interoperability; enterprise integration; enterprise architecture; services; virtualisation; electronic government; governance; agility; business integrity.
