Abstract

E-government expresses the process of utilizing advanced information and communication technologies (ICT) to automate internal activities of government agencies and their external relations with citizens and businesses. All these interactions provide better, faster and more secure public services. In this article, a method for the detection of terrorism-related activities in the e-government environment has been suggested. In the proposed method, terrorism-related activities are defined based on the similarity between the users' opinions and the vocabulary database created linked to terrorism.
