Briefings
Briefings about key areas of the OeE's work
Digital Television
The Office of the e-Envoy is committed to ensuring that government services are delivered through the most appropriate channel for the citizen. This brief focuses on digital television.
e-Democracy
The government wants to give people a range of opportunities to participate in the democratic process. It also wants to find new ways that it, and parliament, can seek the views, knowledge and experiences of citizens.
Government Gateway
The Gateway is an authentication and routing engine built on open standards, allowing different systems in different government departments to communicate with the Gateway and with each other.
Information assurance
The increasing dependency of our society on information ad communication technologies means that our reliance on such systems also carries considerable risks for government, finance, health and social welfare as well as national security.
Intermediaries
An intermediary is an organisation that while acting as a link between citizen and government creates value.
Internet access
The Office of the e-Envoy is leading a cross-government programme aimed at ensuring that everyone who wants it can have internet access by 2005.
Interoperability
Interoperability enables the exchange of information between different computer systems. The e-Government Interoperability Framework (e-GIF) is an essential component of e-Government Strategy and sets out the policy and standards for interoperability across the public sector.
Metadata
Metadata can be understood as data about data, a tool enabling users, seekers and owners of information resources to find and manage this data.
UK online campaign
UK online is for everyone. It is a partnership between government, industry, the voluntary sector, trades unions and consumer groups, to ensure the UK is a world leader in the new knowledge economy.
