In light of the Action Programme 'Social Sectors and ICT', the Ministry of Economic Affairs has a need to establish a more effective and efficient form of knowledge exchange regarding ICT best practices and pilots in (semi-)public sectors. One of the most remarkable ways to share knowledge efficiently is an initiative called Wikipedia. This is based on the principle that everyone should be able to easily edit an encyclopedia database on the internet. Seemingly without much coordination, volunteers have created an encyclopedia here that matches professional encyclopedias in terms of quality and quantity. It is easy to imagine that such technology, called a wiki, could also be applicable for other purposes under certain conditions.
In this context, Dialogic, commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs DGET, conducted an exploratory study on the desirability and feasibility of an internet portal for ICT best practices following the Wikipedia model. Here, initiators and users of ICT initiatives (especially pilots and best practices) in (semi-)public sectors can freely share their valuable experiences for everyone via the internet.
