Hello folks,
Another web site that might be of interest to FISH folk, especially those
working in UK local authorities:
http://www.localegov-standards.gov.uk/
"The Local e-Government Standards Body has been established as a National
Project under the ODPM's National Local e-Government Strategy. It has been
set up to ensure that the National Strategy is supported with standards and
mechanisms that enable existing projects, products and services to be
exploited so that duplication of investment and effort in local e-government
can be avoided.
Purpose:
> research and maintain an information repository of e-Government schemes
> assess how these schemes impact on, and contribute to, local e-Government
standards
> compile a standards catalogue by mapping existing standards and
identifying gaps to be filled
> ensure that effective action is taken to ensure 'standards gaps' are
filled
> identify and publicise local e-government projects and best practice
> deliver practical support and high quality advice to Councils, their
partners and suppliers on the interpretation and adoption of local
e-government standards
> establish processes for agreeing and accrediting local e-government
standards and projects that complement the national standards framework"
