eGOV TC meeting

 

The face to face meeting in London has debated the strategic position of the TC, including its goals and what the future tasks could be.

 

Following this discussion we propose to review all the existing work items, subgroups and tasks of the TC. To establish what work items are still active and establish the future direction of the tasks we carry forward.

 

To be blunt, there appears to be little current activity in any of the current sub groups.  So we need to decide as a TC which subgroups are still relevant.   Unless there is support for a subgroup the work may as well be discontinued. 

 

The face to face identified the following:

SCOPE

         Be global, but allowing for national and localisation issues.

         Provide "bridge" between OASIS and other "e-Government" standards bodies.

         Focus our efforts on XML and in particular OASIS standards, provide interface and trigger activity in other OASIS TC to meet "government" requirements.

DELIVERABLES

         Looking at the value/need for a government equivalent of ebXML, CORE components and Ontology for e-Government.
