Information Architecture
In the context of the U.S. Federal Government "Disaster Help" e-Government initiative, I am helping draft a two-page paper: "Agreement on Certain Information Architecture Principles".
Our focus is on the specification of shared interfaces among systems operated by e-Government initiative participants. The current draft calls out five minimum and critical agreements required for interoperability:
There is also a short paragraph noting some requirements applicable to Government participants, such as open and equal public access, permanence of public access, privacy, security, records management, and information management.
Anyone who would like to review the draft or advise on other major principles, please contact me by e-mail to [email protected]
(Also, please forward this note to other groups interested in information architecture principles for e-Government.)
Thanks!
Eliot
