Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to analyze the functionality of the GILS standard in the development of the smart government. This research was conducted using documentary and observation methods. The statistical population of this research was the metadata elements of the GILS as well as the components of the smart government. A survey tool was used to collect the required data for the research. The findings of this research showed that the main components of the smart government are grouped into 18 axes with 75 partial components. To create a smart government, components like information technology, cyber security, transparency and access, digital identity, privacy and data security, interoperability, ethical and legal considerations, and digital empowerment have been proposed. The elements used in the GILS standard are placed in eight general categories, which are: simple description elements, subject description elements, URIs, resource formats and technical features, administrative details, administrative metadata, source/reference and access/copyright conditions. Each of these categories consists of several main and sub-elements. the findings of the research revealed that the GILS can be used in the development of a smart government in various dimensions. One of the strengths of this standard, which increases its functionality in the smart government, is the use of appropriate descriptive and management metadata to access government data. Determining and describing the required metadata. using metadata, storing metadata, managing and maintaining metadata, determining access and permissions are among the most important applications of the Government Information Locator Service in the smart government.
