The term e-Government usually refers to the use of information and communication technology to provide and improve government services, transactions and interactions with citizens, businesses, and other arms of government.Our current concept emphasizes the dependence of more than 80% of government data on spatial location/position and explains the need for geospatial and eGovernment to be integral. An e-Government nowadays provides interoperable, Internet-based government services that enable ubiquitous connectivity to transform key government processes, both internally across departments and employees and externally to citizens and businesses. It is the manifestation of the system concept by mapping/matching the resources to the function.
