Standards
In neededing to address as many people in a community as possible, standards are important. Standards allow for sharing services between agencies and flexibility in delivering services to people.
Accessibility and Usability
Interlated associates have been building sites for government for many years. We understand that standards are important to Government. Accessibility and usability ensure broad access to government information and services.
Classification, Information Access and Discovery
Compliant meta-data is needed on web-sites, but also is an appropriate choice of vocabularies. Agencies often have the challenges of delivering information in an common language - accessible - way. In the web-sphere we will advise regarding the application of AGLS, appropriate controlled vocabularies and lookup mechanisms such as thesauri.
The second discovery challenge relates to the cross-agency services and citizen's knowledge of the structure of government. This is why Interlated promotes web-architectures that promote sharing and re-use, federated architectures and the use of standards. Use of open-source provides one-less impediment in the adoption of shared services.
Technology
Government agencies often also have a mandate to ensure that their technology is standards based. This promotes the sharing of services between agencies and the later integration - 'mash-ups' in web-speak.
