eGov in eEurope

Congratulations to my Swedish collegues for being top-ranked in the fifth EU-survey about online availability of public services. Denmark ranks 6th, and somehow managed to score lower than in previous benchmarks.
‘This study points to impressive progress in developing and delivering public services on line across the EU. The service delivery gap between new Member States and the pre-enlargement EU 15 is lower than many expected and could close very quickly’
Post-conference blog notes

I’m back from our Conference on Architecture for eGovernment, which attracted almost 500 participants in a slightly too small location. The conference hotel had an over-priced hotspot, but I was too busy to blog it.
Andreas was there as an exhibitor, and found a pattern in the vendor exhibitions. His conference summary is also great (I’ve technoratified the keywords):
Technorati Tags: Siloer, øer, edag, referenceprofilen, serviceorienteret arkitektur, soa, standardisering, epj, webservices, udbudsværktøjskassen, hvidbogen, gis, esdh, fesd, oces, vtu, itst, gap, wai, strukturreformen, digital forvaltning, oioxml, koncern-it, fælles standarder, vertikal integration, åbne standarder, kpi, digital signatur, interoperabilitet
Christian blogged that he has become inspired to start a work blog, but was too busy to actually do so on the spot. Also too busy to blog at all was Signe and Kristian (who couldn’t even stay throughout the conference). And probably a few others, whom I forgot.
Feeding Utah’s CIO

Government Technology notes that State Web Site Picks Up Government Technology News. It’s about Utah’s state CIO using GovTech’s RSS news feed to display news headlines on their Web site.
In the story, GovTech’s Nick Mudge also explains that the Utah site uses my Feed2js service. Nick mailed me and asked if Government Technology could promote my service so that state and local governments can use this solution to display news on their Web sites.
Of course, I said “no problem”. Not only am I glad my server capacity is used by others than spam bots and such. I am also very happy to see RSS being promoted like this. GovTech offers a great number of good, thematic RSS feeds, which not only makes them a good example for other syndicators to follow, but also makes them a valuable resource for an government technology freak like myself.
Tagging eGovernment

‘Tags’ have become popular with services like del.icio.us, and now Technorati Tags ( explained). This has prompted me to play around with tags (GotzeTagged, below).
Tags
A tag is here understood as a simple category name, or a bit of metadata about whatever it is about.
With del.icio.us and the likes, tagging becomes a social activity, and that is what makes these new services interesting. And challenging …
For example, which of the following tags is “correct”: e-government, egovernment or e-gov?
I’ll be using egovernment. This is the name of the relevant blog category here, with Dave and with Phil.
If your blog tool/CMS does not support categories/tags, include the following code in your blog:
<a xhref="http://technorati.com/tag/egovernment" mce_href="http://technorati.com/tag/egovernment" rel="tag">egovernment</a>
GotzeTagged
I have been running GotzeLinked for quite a while (since 1997 or so), so I have been “tagging” the web for quite a while. One of the lasting challenges is about the choice of categories, and the relations between the categories. One of the most recently added categories is GotzeTagged: eGovernment.
GotzeTagged makes use of various external services, such as del.icio.us, MSN News, and Amazon (UK). I’m still working on some improvements to the user interface.
