Title
Open Standards in Electronic Governance: Promises and Perils

Prof. Jay P. Kesan |
Description
Open standards are widely considered to have significant economic and technological benefits. This has led many governments to consider mandating open standards for document formats. Document formats are how a computer stores memos or spreadsheets. Governments are moving away from Microsoft's proprietary DOC format to open standard document formats, such as the Open Document Format (ODF) and Office Open XML (OOXML). The belief is that by shifting to open standards, governments will benefit from vendor/product choice, market competition, and the ability to seamlessly substitute different vendor implementations.
In this tutorial, we will examine various issues relating to open standards that are critical for effective e-Governance: such as the development process employed in developing a standard, the adoption and impact of open standards, the procurement policies employed, interoperability among different implementations of an open standard.
