6th Annual National Conference on Digital Government Research

The National Science Foundation and the Digital Government Research Center (DGRC) is sponsoring dg.o2005, the 6th annual National Conference on Digital Government Research, May 16 - 18, 2005, in Atlanta, Georgia. The conference also serves as the annual meeting of all NSF digital government researchers. This year, we focus on:

• the nature of digital government research as a new interdisciplinary field that spans computer science and social science,
• the breadth and depth of current digital government projects,
• the unique partnership of university researchers and government partners, and
• outcomes and impacts of digital government research in the public sector.

Digital government research is interdisciplinary and multi-sector, with a focus on research at the intersections of computer and information sciences, social, political, and behavioral sciences, and the problems and missions of government agencies. Digital government research addresses problems in government in all sectors and at any scale - local, regional, national, and transnational. We invite researchers in relevant disciplines, government agency representatives, policy specialists, business experts, representatives from the software industry, and members of the public to attend, present papers, and participate in the many activities of this conference.

Several tutorials will be offered at the conference, including Scientific Metadata: Making Data More Valuable
