Web 2.0
– It’s Potential ….
 " To really understand Web 2.0 (or rather what is happening
with the Web today, whatever you want to call it) you have to
think beyond today’s social software fads and
start imagining new combinations of interactions
between people, software and data, at every level of
scale from individual to global. “
Dion Hinchcliffe, Editor-in-Chief at Social Computing Magazine
 What are we looking to achieve in government …
enhancing our Citizen Engagement AND Effective
Service Delivery

- Goals for e-Government
 Example goals for eGov – from assorted sources
• “Customers online, not waiting in line”
o Customers need not waste their time waiting in line at the counter, they
now have the option of doing their business online via the Internet.”
eGovernment article, Jennifer O’Neill, NY State Records Services
• “Intimacy with netizens”
o Netizens are Internet citizens. For eGovernment to work, netizens must
feel a connection to your services.”
eGovernment article, Jennifer O’Neill, NY State Records Services
• “To fundamentally change and improve the way citizens interact with
government and their communities”; State of Virginia
• “To build a robust infrastructure supporting eGovernment
establishment and growth.” ; State of Virginia

e-Government and Web 2.0
- Key Challenges of e-Government
 The Digital Divide
• Our clients are diverse in their needs and access to technology
 The Financial Divide
• Public sector budgets vary dramatically
 The Organizational Divide
• No “Silos” - act as an enterprise … policies & standards must
harmonize
 The Jurisdictional Divide … and governance
• The need for a single, integrated public service “portal”/delivery
channel

Fast Forward Web 2.0

 Web 2.0 facilitates communication and collaboration among diverse groups in
different locations with the same potential for service delivery – what to do …
 The public views government as one entity – we need to act as one
 The Town arborist who notices graffiti on a park bench -> service request
 The building inspector who notices a minor watermain leak - > service request
 Police officer who sees someone in need of social services - > service request
 Corporate culture – Need to replace “It’s not my job” with it’s all our jobs
… We’re all service ambassadors – we all need to collaborate

MISA 2009 Conference– Jury Konga Fast Forward Web 2.0 – Social to a Service Web 39

Moving the Service Agenda Forward
- Open Data is a Critical Success Factor
 Open Data focus not new – has it’s roots in the 1990’s
 Recent Open Data initiatives include City of Toronto and City of
Vancouver
 Increasing support for becoming more open than today and
with managed access
 Interoperability of data is important for re-use by many
organizations providing service delivery
 Metadata is an important business requirement to manage risk
(litigation) related to the potential misuse of the data
 Intellectual property and data licensing continues to evolve
 The balance between Privacy concerns vs. service delivery
efficiencies is an evolving area that needs policy review

Web 2.0 – From a Social to a Service Web
- Concluding thoughts
 Web 2.0 principles and technologies offer huge opportunities to
support enhanced service delivery
 “Open” Data is a key to moving the agenda forward
 Service One (2.0) is about the client not the jurisdiction
 Technology is not the issue – leadership and policies will dictate
how quickly we improve our service delivery
 Expanding a 1990’s e-Government mantra … “Think Big, Start
Small, Scale Fast” and now add – Collaborate LARGE
