This article discusses some challenges related to this work. The theoretical basis for the discussions is our understanding of information infrastructures, which we claim offers a fruitful perspective to the building of ICT architectures. Of particular relevance is its installed base: the history of technical and non-technical components that determines its further development. We argue that an ICT architecture for the public sector should be seen as an important element of a government information infrastructure. However, it has to be adapted to other principles and fulfil a wider range of needs than traditional types of infrastructures, including the specific political, regulatory and organizational context that it targets. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01059189/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01059189/file/paper_58.pdf %L hal-01059189 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01059189 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-LNCS-6228 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC8 %~ IFIP-EGOV %~ IFIP-WG8-5 %~ IFIP-2010
