Effects of government contracting and privatization on our access to public information:
In an era of government by contract, federal, state and local governments should strengthen existing open records laws to expand the reach to government contractors.At a minimum,a complete list of contracts and contractors should be online. Handing over control of public services to private contractors shouldn't mean giving up the public's right to know.

estratic's insight:
El enfoque del Gobierno Abierto sin una perspectiva estratégica no es nada más que acciones puntuales que con el paso del tiempo quedan atrás. Más allá de la perspectiva del front office, donde los principios de transparencia, colaboración o participación han sido especialmente asociados a la interacción con la ciudadanía, la implementación real del gobierno abierto requiere especialmente de políticas públicas aplicadas a elementos clave también desde el back office (sistemas de información, procesos, colaboración interinstitucional, etc) y que serán fundamentales para conseguir ir más allá de las modas, y pensar ya en la próxima etapa de forma sostenida. Esta ponencia aborda la perspectiva estratégica del Open Government desde el back office, especialmente en el contexto de la Smart City, donde elementos como Redes Neuronales, Green IT, Big Data, Smart Grid o Cloud Computing, son abordados como clave.

The study defines a vision of an EU eHealth Interoperability Framework with four levels: technical, semantic, organisational and legal. It also assesses some technical specifications from the epSOS interoperability framework and from two consortia, IHE and Continua Health Alliance, against the identification criteria of the annex II of the Regulation on European Standardization.
These results will be used to specify the deployment of cross-border eHealth services in the frame of the Connection Europe Facility (CEF), but they will also potentially be used for national, regional or project based deployments.

Entendemos que una transparencia “blindada” implicará un Estado saneado y, en el caso de países como España, es ya irrenunciable adoptar esta perspectiva para imponer seguridad jurídica, para la rendición de cuentas y conseguir recuperar la confianza de la sociedad, poniendo los medios reales para evitar en un futuro situaciones como la que se está atravesando actualmente. De ello depende ahora la credibilidad de un Estado, sus gobiernos, sus instituciones y las personas que lo forman. Delete the scoop?
