DESIRE Information Gateways
Handbook
Institute for Learning and Research Technology
University of Bristol, United Kingdom
Information gateways and other quality-controlled portals help users discover high quality
information on the Internet in a quick and effective way. They select, classify and
catalogue information in ways similar to those that librarians have used for many years.
The DESIRE Handbook has been designed and written with the specific aim of highlighting
best practices and the latest technologies behind information gateways.

Service Descriptions
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.

Strategies and Implementation
Customer
Focussed Portals Framework (Australia)
National Office for the Information Economy (NOIE)
The customer focused portals framework builds upon the Australian Government's existing
web presence by adding a related set of Web sites that present collections of government
information and services in ways that are designed around customer groupings and subject
matter areas, rather than merely reflecting administrative structures.

Government
On-Line Strategy and Statistics Canada
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.
