Government Online Priorities
• Ensure easy access to at least four essential types of public data in Europe. –Define the pilot areas
• Ensure consultation and feedback via the Internet on major political initiatives.
• Ensure that citizens have electronic access to basic interactions.
European Environment Agency
Reporting Burden
• Each year, each member state has to provide 37,000 figures to various international environmental reporting systems, essentially answering that many questions.
• Only 17% of these figures are related to evaluating the effectiveness of any particular EU policy.
• There are 57 sectoral committees in the environment sector alone.
• Most of them have developed their own data collection and applications.

Lessons Learnt in e-Community Building
European Environment Agency
General Success Factors in Network Building
• It is easy to start a network, but difficult to keep alive
• Build the organisation and technology hand in hand: Managers must understand technology and technologists must listen to users
• Understand users' contraints
• Respect rights of data custodians
• Provide opportunity -- the IS lives by opportunity
• Then, persistence
European Environment Agency
Building Institutions
• Network organisations can not be managed – but they can be led
• Network organisations are normally based on voluntary cooperation – motivated by opportunity
• By nature, network organisations are slow – a top down drive difficult to create
• The traditional approach for defining user needs first and then finding technological solutions does not normally work
• Demonstration, interaction, and iteration works
• Spread of best practice works, make the best the norm
• Providing a political forum works
European Environment Agency
Building Network Infrastructure
• Model the organisational network in technological infrastructure – ownership
• Build services that provide opportunity
• Learn how to build on each others' work
• Build infrastucture – open interfaces
• Build gateways – navigate by metainformation
• Allow contributions – build dialogue and platform for opportunity
• Personalise and integrate
• Don't build applications – build infrastructure
European Environment Agency
Building Content Value Chains for Communities
• Information society consists of communities (i.e., networks of people and organisations)
• Content can not be the same for all
• We have tried mass personalisation: How to define Special Interest Groups without excessive fragmentation? What is the critical mass?
• Personalisation via community portals
• Involve content publishing expertise in all teams
• Avoid information overload
• Key in value chain: From information exchange to information provision
• When is information sustainable?
