World Bank Standards Framework for Electronic Government Procurement

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

I came across this project from the World Bank and thought their paper 
on Standards Framework for Electronic Government Procurement was worthy 
of reading. 

For example, one of their paragraphs concludes with...
"For these and other reasons the policies of government for e-GP
should not be separated from those of economic development. In
selecting standards to ensure interoperability in e-GP governments
need to be aware that their decisions will strengthen (or hinder) the
broader roll out of e-commerce throughout the economy."
