Government Without Boundaries and
the Recreation One Stop:
Using the Recreation Markup Language
(Clark, GSA-OIS)
To assist the Recreation One Stop Project, an eGov initiative of the Office
for Management and Budget, the Office of Inter- governmental Solutions (OIS)
has partnered with the Department of Interior to expand Recreation One Stop
into an Intergovernmental initiative through the use of XML and Web Services.
The U.S. Federal government, the State of New Jersey, the Commonwealth of
Virginia, and Fairfax County. Virginia had worked collaboratively to create
a "Government Without Boundaries" (GWoB) demonstration program. The GWoB
collaborative framework was created to meet the challenges of delivering
seamless government in the parks and recreation services' community of
interest.
The framework provides an environment in which communities of interest
formed around a given subject area exchange information and support each
other in determining unique technical and business solutions to
interoperability issues in a manner that preserves the autonomy, branding,
and control of participating jurisdictions. This framework stresses
guidelines for interoperability built on XML, Web Services and includes
a pilot application to demonstrate the use of XML to exchange parks data.
In May of 2002, the U.S. Department of Interior leveraged the collaborative
framework and facilities of GWoB by including state and local government
recreation facilities (the Commonwealth of Virginia and Fairfax County
Virginia) in its Recreation.gov portal. This integration of information and
services is an example of the emerging government without boundaries and
seamless government that we will see in all jurisdictions in the years ahead.
Charlie Grymes, project manager for Recreation One Stop, is inviting
additional States and Local governments to partner with DOI in a demonstration
project under the President's E-government initiative "Recreation One Stop",
and expand the number of States and Local government recreation facilities
in Recreation.gov. As of September 28, 2002, Recreation One Stop had
included three additional States and Montgomery County Maryland into
Recreation.gov.
This GWoB presentation will highlight the role of XML and Web Services to
fulfill the vision of seamless citizen-centric information and services.
