Subject: One-Stop GISArticle and some thoughts
Title: One-Stop GISArticle and some
thoughts
Hi Folks,
Hmmmn. I don't quite know what to say about this article, but it
highlights a situation we should probably assess better.
http://informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=10300774
My recent survey of both the EM and Health Care standards arena
as part of my focus on Human-Centric standards revealed common
concerns in this area. I'm a lot less interested in trumpeting the
shortcomings than I am in how to best contribute to improving this
arena effectively--and saving us taxpayers some money better spent
elsewhere, while improving the availability and delivery of
information and services.
I am also concerned that we may need to address Section 508
accessibility issues. I think that GIS will get noticed because it is
out ahead of the curve in terms of adopting and promoting standards,
so if we can help do a better job of correcting the shortcomings
effectively, that methodology/approach may carry over to the Health
Care arena, or so I hope. We definitely need some better models.
I take the following list/site/facility for granted, as I do
several such, but I offer the following url as a resource for keeping
track of some interesting efforts in the Accessibility/Collaboration
arena of GSA:
http://ua-exp.gov/
Being a member, and because the paper I posted here and elsewhere
pertains to this month's workshop, I posted it on this site, too. So
please don't think this is self-promotion.
It only occurred to me because I noticed the E-GOV conference
announcement
which even caught the keepers of this list somewhat off-guard
because it was not highly publicized, and today is the last day of the
event.
