The document discusses the shift from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and what this means for government. Some key aspects of Web 2.0 include openness, collaboration, community, and harnessing collective intelligence through people sharing data in real-time. For government, Web 2.0 can increase efficiency and productivity through uses like wikis, social networks, and exposing data for others to reuse through web services. The era of Web 2.0 is about embracing these changes to better engage and serve citizens.
