Abstract

An open source software (OSS) development framework like South Korea's eGovFrame facilitates the development of applications based on open standards, resulting in improved software quality, more efficient development and greater reuse of software modules. From our analysis of the multi-year project to adopt and implement eGovFrame and build an ecosystem that involved public and private organizations, we have identified six key lessons for managing development framework ecosystems.
