Abstract

In many countries, there is tendency to implement e-Government at the Central level. However, in a country like Palestine, with unstable economical and political situation, e-Government is thought at smaller scales through many decentralized initiatives. Most likely these initiatives are not coordinated or endorsed by a Central unit. This article combines theoretical frameworks [such as Balanced Scorecard, Enterprise Architecture and Strategic Management] and empirical experiences to design a model to enable the data flow between decentralized local government units (LGUs) and central government. The Model illustrates the usefulness of adopting a top-down approach across the five layers of the Enterprise Architecture to develop a cross-agency, multipurpose and multi-layer data model using standard XML domain schemas
