The ProblemThe Problem
In Italy it has always been difficult for citizens and enterprises to
communicate and interact with public administration bodies (PA) and
public offices.
ISSUE 1:
Quite often it's very hard to gain access to the relevant contact
information of the PA. Moreover they have huge size and they are not
machine readable.
ISSUE 2:
Instruments such as certified emails (PEC) are becoming more and
more essential but these are not supported well by apps. There are no
free mobile and cross-provider clients for PEC.
This issue is becoming more prominent by the fact that nowadays
communication happens at a much faster pace and often through the
use of mobile devices.

ComunicaPA applies Semantic Web technologies to mobile devices in order
to exploit Linked Open Data that public administrations have recently started
to publish.
ComunicaPA uses data that are always updated and maintained by third
official parties.
ComunicaPA users can search for a public administration in order to get its
useful information.

ComunicaPA does not need to embed large amount of data, which would be
unfeasible and not scalable for a mobile application.
ComunicaPA displays to the user the information he was looking for.

from contacting a public administration to discovering its public services.

send certified emails, save contacts in the address book, send normal
emails, browse websites, call and visualize the offices in a map.
