2. 2
The European Commission attaches great
importance to good document
management in all its aspects. Documents
are the medium through which information
is stored and transmitted; they have
administrative and legal value and they
constitute the basis for the institutions
short-, medium- and long-term memory.
Moreover, an ever-larger proportion of
these documents are in electronic form.

13. Records as boundary objects
Archivists who believe that if the
objects we encounter are records
they cannot simultaneously be
information products, library books,
museum artifacts, or works of art,
underestimate the complexity and
richness of the world in which we live
and work.
(Geoffrey Yeo, Am. Archivist 2008, 142)
14. What is a document?
Interactivity
Hyperlinks
Who is the author/reader?
16. The abundance of a wide assortment of social
software, including annotation systems, wikis,
clusters of blogs, social network visualisations,
social recommender systems, and new ways of
visualising conversations...
The underlying principle that binds these
systems together is that they both affect
and are affected by aspects of collective
group behaviour

Adaptive Web-Based Systems.

Archivists need to reflect on how everyone
else using email and the Internet has
created vastly different expectations for
how archival reference is to be conducted.

Government 2.0 involves a public policy
shift to create a culture of openness and
transparency, where government is willing
to engage with and listen to its citizens;
and to make available the vast national
resource of non-sensitive public sector
information.
Government 2.0 empowers citizens and
public servants alike to directly collaborate
in their own governance by harnessing the
opportunities presented by technology.

e-government from four perspectives:
the addressees perspective
(the citizen interface)
the process perspective
(restructuring business processes),
the co-operation perspective
(collaborative decision-making),
the knowledge perspective
(management of information and
knowledge as the major assets of the
public sector)

Government, in: Prins (ed.), Designing E-Government (2007)

Web 2.0 provides public servants with unprecedented
opportunities to open up government decision making and
implementation to contributions from the community.
Australian Public Service Commission
Agency activity implementing Web 2.0 technologies into
their everyday business practices will be important if the
government is to embed Government 2.0 cultural change in
agencies.
Australian Government agencies should therefore enable a
culture that gives their staff opportunity to experiment and
develop new opportunities for online engagement.
