Open Government

Open Governance

Definition and Differences

  • Structured by the government with access to information and communication. Standardized and you get what you see.
  • Open government has to do with the institution itself and its structure, or mechanics.
  • Open government directives do not require what we have come to call Web 2.0 solutions to be successful. 

 

  • Facilitates collaborative exchange among individuals or groups of people. Allows people to consult in an open setting based on what is arranged by the government. You get what you see, but at the same time you are allowed to change what you see according to how you would like to see it.
  • Open governance has to do with its processes.
  • Will require the collaborative technologies provided in Web 2.0 solutions to succeed.
