Alongside my role as Head of e-Services and Strategy at OPSI, I am also one of the two co-chairs of the W3C eGovernment Interest Group (http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/). The group is still very young, finding our feet and looking for more participation, although we have some excellent people involved. We're currently producing our first working group note.
In essence we see the eGov IG providing a conduit between the technical standards development work of the W3C and the real world needs to governments on the web.
So, would people be interested in hearing about the interest group, the work we are doing, the role we have, and discussing where we should be taking eGov activity at W3C? More than happy to explain our thinking and open it up for some challenge and debate.
John, at the eGov workshop, there where two presentations that you gave (1) on the gazette use case and (1) on the proposed URL structures - could you send me copies of these?
