Europe, Europe, Europe...
Of course we can not say that in subjects of e-Government, Europe is stopped...
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...

Ubiquitous Computing
Days ago I made reference to a concept "ubiquitous city", today we are going to take a step more and I go to speak about "ubiquitous computing"
Promoters of this idea hope that embedding computation into the environment would enable people to move around and interact with computers more naturally than they currently do
The Chips generation which they work as a tags electronic, storing all type of information and that they work under an operating system in real time, allows, like is being made already, the creation of a city in which the information is in all the sites. So and as we can read in Windley's Technometria:
Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport is spearheading the testing of the UID Center's Autonomous Movement Support Project. Electronic tags embedded in pavement stones and street furniture will supply users with location-specific information "anytime, anywhere, to anyone." In the cities of Kobe and Tsuwano, hundreds of electronic tags and road sensors have been embedded in the pavement, sidewalks, and street furniture, providing information to tourists about historical sites and to wheelchair users about obstacles.
The name of the creature is "T-engine":
o T-Engine is an open, standardized real-time operating system development environment for constructing a ubiquitous computing environment.
o T-Engine incorporates the eTRON security architecture which enables the development of application systems with strong network security.
o The T-Engine Project standardizes the hardware, a real-time operating system, and the object format specifications to enable the smooth distrubtion of middleware.
o By using the abundant middleware available for T-Engine, the development time and cost can be greatly reduced.
All this is the result of an organization "T-engine Forum", supported by the government Japanese and of that at the moment already they are more than 450 members, counting all the greater companies high tech of Japan. Evidently it has his retorts in Korea with KTEC(Korea T-Engine Center) or in Singapore with T-Engine Application Development Centre (TEADEC).
And if all this we joined it with a territorial information system? Will be the Killer app of e-Government? Remember wich I wrote months ago...
I have read which killer app of the Web will be the applications of geoposicionamiento, that is to say, solutions of territorial information. Simultaneously that the www has been the one of Internet. You can read it, good, rather listen to it in IT conversations...
