The European Union’s e-ernment Action Plan ntinues to seek input.The EU is looking for ways to improve the interactions between citizens and ernment,business and ernment,between different levels of ernment and between different ernments. 

Strong,nsistent semantics,data provenance and standardisation are,almost universally,poorly thought out inside large anisations.And for works of large anisations that rely on each other,(like ernment departments and agencies)or those llaborating across national boundaries the situation is…well generally worse.

This is an area in which the XBRL standard and the XBRL mmunity can help:a methodology to define clear definitions for data that needs to be prepared,provided and analysed;ways to describe those relationships;ways to manage data quality;a strong software esystem and proven methods for securely llecting and managing vast quantities of invaluable information.

Whether it’s expanding the ideas within the Dutch or Australian SBR frameworks,looking to Brazil or the United States for more granular data llection and aggregation,reusing mpany data llected by national business registrars,or exploring ways to use XBRL taxonomies and data quality rules to re-engineer mplex financing requirements,there is plenty within our mmunity that can be leveraged within e-ernment.

A ic for discussion at next week’s XBRL Europe meeting in Amsterdam perhaps?Not just relevant in the EU of urse.Anyone in the Americas feel like their ernment data processes are running smoothly??Oceania?The Middle East?Africa?No?Ok.Plenty to do then.Let’s hear your ideas!
