Paper Abstract:	The new millennium has brought among its most important changes the evolution of the electronic administration as one of the major enablers for the information society. Some initiatives like the IDA project have concentrated on the data exchange among different public administrations. Others, like eGOV have focused on the definition of e-services for citizens and enterprises. Others, like OSCI in Germany, have tried to define a security framework for e-administration, while others like the eGIF framework in the UK have combined several of the previous features. In this paper, we tackle a different aspect, which has not been fully studied yet, but which is of uppermost importance in e-government: the internal processes in electronic administration. We present a general model for categorizing administrative documents using XML and the results of the use of this model in the Spanish Science and Technology Ministry’s ACADIA project for the administrative documents inside this Ministry. The model takes into account how signatures shall be generated, attached and validated inside e-administrative processes and illustrates the concepts with practical examples taken from the processes inside this Ministry.
