Abstract: In the past government operations tended to be rather inefficient and time consuming; recent developments in technology have provided the medium for government offices to revamp their operations in an effort to improve the efficiency of the services they provide. This also provides the opportunity for inter-action between various government agencies or organizations through implementing the use of ICT or in this case known as e-Government collaboration. Efficient and effective collaboration among different units of a government could lead to its efficient utilization of resources and better services; and, as a result, could enhance its economic, social as well as human development. This paper proposes an approach to improve e-Government collaboration by the employment of document standards and document computation. The document computation is materialized by means of ontology and rules checking. A case study of collaboration in provincial budgeting in Thailand is presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
