What are the expected outcomes?
W3C has chartered a public eGovernment Interest Group with the goal of improving access to government through better use of the Web. To reach that goal, W3C plans to create a task force to address three main topics: • Use of Open Standards • Transparency and Openness • Seamless Integration of Data The group’s charter cites two types of deliverables from these task forces: • The creation of an interdisciplinary forum for discussing how the use of open web standards can improve access to government. • Documentation of the challenges that were identified by the task forces, the technical and administrative approaches used, and the needs of best practices, guidelines or new technologies to be developed (roadmap) in order to tackle the most relevant issues within scope for each task force. The Interest Group may also propose holding more public Workshops to explore new and emerging approaches.
