E-Government and the NGII

From Geostandards

In the figure below there is an overview of how GII and geo-information are implemented in the Dutch e-Government. The figure illustrates how geo-information plays a role in the various parts of the e-government.

In the Data column various geo-information resources are listed. Some of them are basic registers too. The Dutch government has devised basic registers that contain the vital data of, and for, the government. One organisation is responsible for each administration, so official data can be found in one place. Several separate administrations no longer exist. As well as the basic geographical registers, there are also between 250-500 geo-registers available in the Netherlands. These are made available and accessible within the context of e-government and in a service-based way. To make geo-information available, geographic services are used (geoservices). These geoservices can be offered by just one central organisation as the basic registars are (national provisions) or in a decentralised way via resource holders. Geo-information has some national provisions for the e-government such as the national georegister and the risk register of the provinces. Finally the e-government offers various mutual components for the publishing of governmental information on public websites. GEOZET as a geographical search and viewing service is a mutual component in government websites that makes it possible to find and consult geo-information on public websites (front offices).
