<h1>eGovernment Activity Statement</h1>

<p class="firstelement">eGovernment refers to the use of the Web or other
information technologies by governing bodies to interact with their citizenry,
between departments and divisions, and between governments themselves.</p>


<p>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/egov/wiki/Main_Page">eGov Interest Group</a> is chartered to build and strengthen the community of people who use or promote the use of W3C technologies to improve Government. The group is to identify and discuss essential areas of technology and related policy issues. Such discussions will occur, amongst other places, on its mailing list, in teleconference seminars, and at face-to-face gatherings. On topics with sufficient interest and motivated participants, the group will form task forces to produce documents and otherwise reach out to relevant communities.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Main_Page">Gov Linked Data (GLD) Working Group</a> is chartered to provide standards and other information which help governments around the world publish their data as effective and usable Linked Data using Semantic Web technologies. The group is to collect and make available information about government Linked Data activities around the world. It will use that information and the experience of its participants to develop W3C Recommendations for Best Practices and for RDF Vocabularies necessary for publication of government data in RDF, as Linked Data. Concurrently with this Working Group, W3C has chartered the eGovernment Interest Group for broad community discussion of government use of the Web.</p>

<h2>Highlights Since the Previous Advisory Committee Meeting</h2>

<p>
In June, this activity was rechartered, extending the eGovernment
Interest Group (IG) and launching the Government Linked Data (GLD)
Working Group.  Since then, the eGov IG has begun meeting on a monthly
basis and the GLD WG had <a href="http://bit.ly/puVuek">a face-to-face
meeting</a> and began meeting on a weekly basis.
</p>

<h2>Upcoming Activity Highlights</h2>

<p>The IG plans to meet at TPAC and the GLD plans to release its
community directory, along with other deliverables as detailed in its
charter.</p>
