Abstract
One of the public administration big challenges is the need to integrate services in order to offer a wide variety of new services, more suitable and better designed, that can be electronically accessed in a uniform way. Recently, the Web Service technology appeared with the promise to compose services through the Internet in a simple way. Despite the Web Services advantages, minimal technology independence is desirable at the design of such compositions in order to guarantee and preserve all the efforts invested in the development of services. In this article a Service Composition Management Framework is proposed, that focuses in a technology-independent description. The referred framework is part of a more complete platform, developed for the electronic delivery of Government services.
