Cover Story: This study identifies state-of-the-art Digital Government architectures and addresses a knowledge gap in this research area. The main objective of this article is to study existing best practices and assist Digital Government practitioners with establishing or improving the design of existing or future Digital Government infrastructure and applications. In this article, we developed a broader understanding of the use of architecture and prominent paradigms for establishing Digital Government infrastructure. We focused on existing Digital Government architectures, the characteristics of a Digital Government architecture, associated challenges, and the architectural building blocks of existing Digital Government architectures. These building blocks and characteristics can be employed by governments while establishing their Digital Government infrastructure.
