Thanks Paul

 

A lot of our stuff is undergoing revision and is spread 
around several pages and sites - some internal as well as external - 
but some of this might help ..

As a starter I would suggest you have a look at the presentations given at 
last week's very succesful workshop in Brussels.  All the slides are 
available at  http://events.oasis-open.org/home/egov-brussels-workshop/2009/proceedings

Many are very relevant to your shopping list not least the 
ones given by guys from Germany, Switzerland, UK and the World 
Tax Organisation.  Equally relevant in many of the presentations 
are instances of weaknesses and gaps in these areas and I would hope 
the Member Section going forward could be the catalyst for correcting some 
of these problems

Best Practice

HI all,

 

You may remember that last year I was writing a GIF for a 
Caribbean country and asked for best practice from around the world. John Ross 
and I are now doing something similar in the Middle East, but with a much wider 
scope, so this is another appeal for information.

 

Last time, I was looking at the basic GIF document and 
technical standards. This time, as well as that, we have to cover:

 

·         
Making the best use of shared services such as shared 
gateways and other infrastructure

·         
Web services

·         
Process modelling

·         
Metadata standards (especially use of Dublin Core in the 
public sector)

·         
Data standards (e.g. names and addresses)

·         
A guide to creating and using taxonomies and thesauri

 

I already know what has been happening in the UK in this 
area, and I know there is a lot in New Zealand, which I will be looking at 
(although Colin, if you have any links to follow, that might save some random 
searching). We also have people from Cyprus in the team, and they know what has 
been done there. I would welcome information on what has been produced elsewhere 
in the world or any information on work in progress. Also, lists of the sort of 
services that people share as common infrastructure would be good.

 

You can be assured that John and I will investigate any 
pointers you can give us and will share whatever we can at the end of the 
project. The client is keen to be seen as a leader in its region, so I don’t 
think there will be a problem in sharing the results of our work.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards

 

Paul Spencer
