Abstract

The handling of subsidy applications typically crosses several departments and organizations, each of them having their own heterogeneous applications and processes. As such, the automated processing has to overcome an immense interoperability problem. This problem is further complicated due to the continuous stream of changes in and the creation of new legislation. Therefore there is a need for an architecture enabling the orchestration and interoperability of cross-agency processes that is able to deal and able to adapt to ever-changing circumstances. In this chapter the development of a reference architecture based on the analysis of four different types of subsidy processes is presented. This reference architecture is used to ensure interoperability and to derive generic building blocks. The architecture is implemented and tested in practice by building a prototype based on web services technology. The evaluation shows that the reference architecture can be used to improve interoperability and adaptability. Adaptability can be realized using an architecture which is built from generic components and meets the conditions set by the architecture.
