Statistics Canada
Government On-Line Strategy and Statistics Canada
To ensure more seamless access to federal services and to provide the public with greater ease of use, the Government of Canada has structured its site according to broad client groups, known as portals or clusters, rather than along departmental lines. And, because Statistics Canada has information and statistics on many subjects, it has been called upon to participate in most of these clusters. The Agency's challenge is to structure our information according to the design of these portals and to arrange the necessary interfaces to our data holdings.

New Zealand
Describing Services For A Metadata-Driven Portal
John Roberts, Archives New Zealand. August 2002.
This paper describes New Zealand E-government activities supporting the discovery of services through the use of Dublin Core-based New Zealand Government Locator Service (NZGLS) metadata. It notes the issues faced in collecting service metadata from agencies to populate a new whole-of-government portal. The paper then considers the adequacy of the metadata schema for service description, and identifies a difficulty in applying definitions that refer to the content of the resource to a process-like resource such as a service.
