eGovernment and the Web

  • The Blogging Revolution: Government in the Age of Web 2.0 by David C. Wyld (IBM Center for The Business of Government)
    "Dr. Wyld examines the phenomenon of blogging in the context of the larger revolutionary forces at play in the development of the second-generation Internet, where interactivity among users is key. ... Wyld observes that blogging is growing as a tool for promoting not only online engagement of citizens and public servants, but also offline engagement. He describes blogging activities by members of Congress, governors, city mayors, and police and fire departments in which they engage directly with the public. He also describes how blogging is used within agencies to improve internal communications and speed the flow of information."

  • Toward More Transparent Government: Workshop on eGovernment and the Web (Submitted Papers)
    This Workshop sponsored by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) will help find ways of facilitating the deployment of Web standards across eGovernment sites, and help shape the ongoing research agenda in the development of Web technology and public policy in order to realize the potential of the Web for access to and use of government information.
