Government Without Boundaries

• Concept was developed at the September 2000 NASIRE Meeting

• We are creating a virtual pool of online government information and services from all levels of government

• Participating States (Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia)

Two Initial Projects

Virginia• An online repository

of government information based on a common citizen-focused taxonomy

• Webmasters at each level of government will utilize the repository in building their web pages

New Jersey• A shared calendar of

park events that contains information from local, state, and federal parks.

Federal, State, and Local - Calendar of Park Events

• Jurisdictions participate by adding a link from their website to the shared calendar

Federal, State, and Local - Calendar of Park Events

• Jurisdictions add/edit their own events through a separate and secure administrative page.

Government Without BoundariesBenefits

• Citizens and businesses will not need to understand the structure of government to get the information and services they desire.

• Provides a foundation for dynamic web page creation and data exchange

• Promotes cooperation between various government entities

What are the future possibilities?

• Government as a whole will be able to provide high-level service at a reduced cost

• It will be easier for government entities to give their constituents the power of information

What are the future possibilities?

• Complementary service rather than redundant service

• An improved image for government as a whole and an improved morale for government workers

• The sky’s the limit!
