New mobile networks and new devices like
smartphones and tablets are rapidly changing opportunities for
public sector units delivering smart, mobile e-services to their
citizens. Moreover, the upcoming HTML5 standard allows for
cross-device and cross-browser support making service
development and deployment much more easier than before at
lower costs. This paper analyzes the most important features of
HTML5, CSS3, and WebGL and their applicability for mobile eservices
in the public sector. Also, we present a novel architecture
for mobile e-services using HTML5, mashups, and RESTful web
APIs as important building blocks.
