CourseworkerXML

XML uptake in national and local government applications is growing considerably. Some of the latest developments are summarised below, and CourseworkerXML’s generic ability to be setup to support any XML schema makes it a perfect productivity enhancing eGovernment publishing solution.

Apart from the obvious benefits of multi-format publishing to print and web, it is also engineered for producing education materials and processes. This is ideal for making the most out of explicit government knowledge, that may benefit from being delivered flexibly into government education and research environments.

The UK government is investing heavily in the use of XML standards as the foundation of e-Government strategy. These eGIF XML standards are designed to allow information to flow seamlessly across the public sector and provide citizens and business with better access to government services.

The Local e-Government Standards Body (LeGSB) vision is to facilitate local government realising benefits of using standards including reduced costs, wider participation with individuals and communities.

The Crown XML Schema for Legislation provides an XML encoding for all United Kingdom primary and secondary legislation, and is the Government's official and authoritative data standard for legislation. Once a piece of legislation has been enacted or made, it is stored using this Schema format. Schema compliant legislation is available in XML for onward supply to legal publishers and others.

In the USA, XML is integral to US Federal Enterprise Architecture according to the Office of Management and Budget and the E-Government Act – see Kenneth Sall’s online review: “How the US Federal Government is Using XML”
