How does W3C work relate to efforts in other organizations?
One of the goals of this activity is to achieve collective outreach by standards bodies, leading standards bodies working in fields that support better government data integration and sharing. Therefore, the Interest Group seeks to work closely with international organizations that deal with eGovernment such as The World Bank, OECD, OAS, United Nations, European Commission, OASIS, and others. In this collaboration, W3C will concentrate on what it does well — standards development in a collaborative environment, and Web technology expertise — and will work together with those bodies to promote use of open standards and identify any gaps to be filled in creating a complete suite of standards to enable open government information.
