eGovernment Monitor (eGovMon)

eGovMon will deliver a prototype implementation of a large scale, online observatory for benchmarking eGovernment services in four areas:

• Accessibility
• Transparency
• Efficiency
• Impact

A set of well defined indicators will be identified for each area, using a coherent assessment methodology. To develop and maintain the measurement framework, an open, participatory and inclusive process will be established.

Evaluation results will be gathered through automated tools, when possible, and supplemented by survey and manual assessments. All project results will be released under an open license, and all software will be open source.

The eGovMon is an innovation project co-funded by the Research Council of Norway under the VERDIKT program. The project will start in 2008 and last for 3 years.
