Methods and / or protocols required for the discovery of, query of, access to and federation of information about eGovernment resources

D1.3.1: Resource Discovery

This section will describe a set of methods and/or protocols required for the discovery of (information about) eGovernment resources, as part of a wider description that will also include methods and/or protocols for query of, access to, and federation of (information about) eGovernment resources. It is the intention to give emphasis to “peer-to-peer” approaches that do not require cost-intensive and centralised management. Because of the scarcity of resources, we will concentrate on mechanisms that are readily available and, ideally, are already being used in the eGovernment environment.

D 1.3.3 Availability, accessibility, and access to resources and information about them

This section will describe operational aspects of persistence and access conditions for both the metadata and the actual resources (documents, services), from a perspective that an objective to share information implies a certain commitment to ensure that the metadata and resources are available and accessible, respecting linguistic and other skills or (dis)abilities, and with a minimum of legal restrictions.

• Develop a very simple model for access restrictions to eGov resources themselves
• Specify precisely how to handle access to metadata about the eGov resources
  • potentially several feeds for different user communities (open, with specific authorization etc.)
  • use http-authentication + encryption to control access to those feeds
