New eGovernment Activity to Help Improve Government through Better Use
of the Web
W3C launches today a new forum for governments, citizens,
researchers, and other stakeholders to investigate how best to use
Web technology for good governance and citizen participation. "Open
Standards, and in particular Semantic Web Standards, can help lower
the cost of government, make it easier for independent agencies to
work together, and increase flexibility in the face of change," said
Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director. W3C invites participation in the new
eGovernment Interest Group, which is open to the public. The group
will identify best practices and guidelines in this area, document
where current technology does not adequately address stakeholder
needs, and suggest improvements via the standards process. Read the
W3C eGovernment FAQ and press release, and learn more about the W3C
eGovernment Activity.
