eGovernment Good Practice Framework

Highlight: Top Event
Second Good Practice Framework workshop on 31 January 2006, Berlin, Germany - Subject: Economic Efficiency as a Central Aspect of eGovernment - National Good Practice as Input to the GPF24.11.2005 by Krassowski, Edgar (872 visitors)date: from 31.01.2006 10:00 until 31.01.2006 17:00The workshop is linking national good practice in Germany with the aspect of economic efficiency. On the one side, the Federal Ministry of the Interior will present the elements for sustainable eGovernment that have been developed in Germany. They have the potential for reuse and target primarily the audience from other EU Member States. In a second step, the aspect of economic efficiency, a very topical subject for eGovernment projects in all EU Member States, will be at the centre of interest. Differing aspects of economic efficiency in eGovernment will be discussed at the national, regional and local levels. In a concluding panel, the contribution of the GPF to improve awareness of the issue will be discussed.

Vision of the Good Practice Framework
The European Commission, DG Information Society and Media, has started a series of measures to support the creation of comprehensive eGovernment services across all levels of the Union. The "Good Practice Framework" (GPF) is a centrepiece in this strategy.
The main objectives of this Good Practice Framework are:
to collect examples of well-defined eGovernment cases
to make the examples available for those involved in eGovernment by means of an intelligent knowledge database
to offer expert know-how on general or special eGovernment features and providing easy access to existing communities or expertise centres
to support the sustainable transfer of good practices and learning experiences in an easy and helpful way.
The scope of the good practices covered in the database ranges from eGovernment strategies about the standardisation of eGovernment processes to concrete solutions and technical issues. In addition, key topics such as Interoperability and Identity Management will be discussed via the framework. Any resulting solutions on these key topics could also be added to the body of good practices.
Furthermore, a good practice label can be awarded to promote partnerships in eGovernment as well as to promote events that make a substantial contribution to the framework.
Approach
The purpose of the framework is to catalogue good practice in eGovernment and to stimulate the sharing of this information. Supplemented by additional services (e.g. community building tools), this portal will provide the vehicle for the dissemination of information and support activities, which will promote the use of good practices. It will do so by transferring knowledge to providers of public services, to formal and informal networks of eGovernment stakeholders, to the ICT business and other multipliers. The main elements of the portal will include:
an intelligent knowledge database
a community platform and
transfer support instruments (e.g. electronic newsletters)
The continuity of the framework will be a key factor for the success of the exchange of good practice in eGovernment.
Mission
The database is the core element of the Good Practice Framework.
Its central features are easy access by Internet, for collecting data and input by the Case owners. After the case has been documented, a series of checks will be performed. The quality of the information will be carefully controlled through internal procedures. If offensive material is discovered in any of the entries the respective case will be deleted and the case owner notified by e-Mail. The responsibility for the accuracy and correctness of the information will however remain with the case owner.
The database consists of a description template tailored in order to collect, in a standardised way, all the information needed to make a case easily retrievable. To this end, a set of key themes have been identified and questions will allow contributors to quickly and easily fill in information about their case.

The Good Practice Framework is being developped with the support of the Modinis Programme of the European Commission. It contributes to the eEurope 2005 and the i2010 Information Society initiatives.
