In the last period eGovernment has clearly gained momentum in our society. Many solutions and projects were developed and, among the large amount of used tools, semantics was called to play a paramount role. In order to overcome issues related to interoperability and accessibility of services in the domain, semantics can be use to improve in-use solutions and to develop new mechanisms. This paper addresses a semantic based philosophy to tackle a holistic platform for the domain. By means of intelligent documents and Life Events, as they are presented in the paper, it is possible to build up a platform to host eGovernment services, as proved by the successful study case STESI portal.
