Abstract: There is a growing pressure for governments across the world to share information with the public. It is expected that digital libraries, or more appropriately, digital repositories will be a key technology here. Digital repositories need to respond to requests, such as the maximum hours an employee can work. A classification scheme based on DOLCE is proposed and illustrated with examples.

Keywords: e-government infrastructure; electronic government; public information infrastructure; digital repositories; metadata; digital libraries; ontologies; intelligent retrieval; heterogenous databases; queries; information sharing.
