Titel
USE-ME.GOV (USability-drivEn open platform for MobilE GOVernment)
Abstract
Project USE-ME.GOV will provide an open service platform that can be shared by networked authorities and institutions (e.g. on a regional scale) in terms of technical infrastructure, information (content) as well as a framework for commercial exploitation. This contribution of the project is seen as a promising approach to harmonise the quality of public services and to overcome related Divide phenomena. Moreover, platform sharing explored on the basis of attractive business models would also provide the conditions for cost-efficient mobile services namely in geographical areas with low internet penetration. This paper describes the current state of USE-ME.GOV concerning user requirements, design and usability, and implementation of the project.
