Government of Canada - Guidelines for External Use of Web 2

Here is a link to the on line guidelines.  

The following paragraph which encourages use in the guidelines is encouraging, but meeting the other requirements of the guidelines look like using web 2 tools is a fairly onerous and complicated process. 

"Government of Canada departments are encouraged to use Web 2.0 tools and services as an efficient and effective additional channel to interact with the public. A large number of Canadians are now regularly using Web 2.0 tools and services to find information about, and interact with, individuals and organizations. For many Canadians, Web 2.0 is increasingly becoming a primary channel for sending, receiving and generating information. Because of the participatory nature of Web 2.0, it can help facilitate interactive and rapid communication and engagement between government departments, their partners and their clients, with some common uses including:"

  • Recruitment;
  • Risk and emergency communications;
  • Services to the public;
  • Stakeholder outreach and education;
  • As a collaborative tool; and Consultation.
