Abstract
The universities in Malaysia have made a good plan in their
education layout to achieve the top educational rank. The goal is to
make the Malaysian education in centre of the global map by
enhancing the academic excellence; its one of 2020 plan in
Malaysia that has been made by Mahathir Mohammad in 1991.
That plan focuses on finance and banking, biotechnology,
information and communication technology, information
technology, multimedia content development, advanced and
manufacturing. Recently in Malaysia there are more than 50
universities. All the public university has its own e-government
application to give the staff online connection and to provide best
service to people. But there is no sharing with other public
universities. Therefore if there is plan will attain success in only
one university, it wont be shared with others. In Universiti Sains
Malaysia (USM) they use APEX (Accelerated Program for
Excellence) that has been used in 2008. This idea was focused only
on USM in Malaysia, because there is no sharing for knowledge
between Malaysian universities. This paper creates a framework
that uses data warehouse techniques such as metadata common
warehouse to support the universities e-government. As such it
increases sharing information among the universitys department
itself and with other universities departments and gives better
understanding which can reduce delay and strengthen the
efficiency of sharing the information for government.
Keywords: E-government, USM Succeeded Plan, information
sharing, E-Government information sharing, Data warehouse, and
Metadata for Information Sharing.
1. Introduction
E-government provides e-services to people by using
information communication technology (ICT), information
technology as interfaces and internet to connect all
governments departments with each other and with citizen
to give them the best services wherever and whenever they
are [1].

1. Relevant literature
The main issue for the e-governance is the limited sharing
of the information which means that the data won't be
available in every department. This leads to weaknesses in
making decisions, slow in developing and difficulty in
solving the problems as well as the unreal in result. To meet
these needs, there is a new kind of technique that has
evolved and matured in the last few years.

delete and update for its data and information. This common
repository leads to increase information sharing between
universitys departments. And it develops the interaction
among agencies in these different universities. Also easily
respond to staffs queries because of universities
information save in huge warehouse. Moreover, the
metadata inside this storage gives better understanding for
the information that is shared between agencies in the
government when they use e-government applications.

4. Conclusion
We investigated the application of the data warehouse for
the e-government; from this point of view information
sharing and interaction issues are provided between public
universities in Malaysia. However, there is issue for sharing
information and interaction between agencies in the ministry
of education and higher education. Nevertheless, by
extending the depth and width of information sharing from
building the data warehouse in the e-government, we
proposed a framework to increase information sharing and
enhance interaction between the agencies in universities.
Furthermore, it makes better understanding for information
that will be shared by using metadata tool. The proposed
method is much more important to improve the standard and
quality for the e-government to share knowledge, ideas and
information. However, our paper can help all the higher
education in developing country in Asia. Because according
to AlMobhouh, data warehouse systems can solve higher
education separate database issues [22]. And it will improve
e-government universities system.
