GUIDE is conducting research and technological development with the aim of creating an architecture for secure and interoperable e-government electronic identity services and transactions for Europe . The project’s approach is multi-disciplinary and includes technology, procedural and policy development across Europe . GUIDE consists of 23 organisations from 13 countries. GUIDE’s vision is to enable Europe to become the global leader of e-government services through the creation of an open architecture for identity authentication.

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.

Breaking Barriers to e-Government. The European Commission is funding a three year project to investigate the legal, organisational, technological and other barriers to expanding effective e-Government services using the Internet. The study will identify and explore key issues that can constrain e-Government growth, drawing on real-life case studies. This rich data source will be analysed to define possible initiatives at a European level to overcome such obstacles, including best practice recommendations.
The project is led by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), a multidisciplinary department at the University of Oxford studying the Internet and society. Its project partners are:

  • gov3, a leading UK-based e-Government consultancy;
  • TILT, the University of Tilburg (Netherlands)
  • CRID, the Research Centre for Computer and Law of the University of Namur (Belgium)
  • and the University of Murcia (Spain).

eGovernment in the Member States of the European Union. This report is the compilation of the country Factsheets prepared by the IDABC eGovernment Observatory. As part of its mission to inform the European e-government community about key issues of common interest, the eGovernment Observatory maintains a series of Factsheets presenting the situation and progress of e-government in each Member State of the EU, providing for each one of them a wide and consistent range of information…
