One of the main contributions of this paper is a case study on how applying DEMO we were able to confirm, in practice, its qualities of conciseness and comprehensiveness. Namely we specified a generic pattern that reflects the functioning of a local government Citizen Service Desk (CSD) and its integration with several other government agencies. The DEMO based specification of this CSD gave important insights to (1) perceive current operational constraints and (2) devise a strategical roadmap for the implementation phase of the e-government project. During our enterprise engineering project we were faced with some problems while applying current official DEMO Way of Working (DWoW), namely (1) the lack of a tool and method steps to quickly and collaboratively collect enterprise model data and (2) inability to efficiently and effectively propagate model changes in interdependent organizational artifacts.
