Introduction
e-Catalunya provides a virtual meeting point for
communities
formed by the Catalan
public administration staff
and
other
professionals
who have need
for
communication
and networking.
The
project
is
an
initiative
of the
Government of
Catalonia
to
improve efficiency
in
delivering
public
services to
citizens.
With
tools
for
collaboration of
the
social
Internet,
they
can participate,
share
knowledge,
promote
learning
and
collaboration.
What is it for?
Each of these communities interacts by means of its own portal,
which is either public or private (i.e. for registered members
only). To participate, there are tools such as blogs, forums, file
containers, wikis, calendars, and so on. These portals also include
utilities like mailing lists, RSS feeds, and automatic news alerts
to allow group members to communicate with one another.
Portal members can make additions to the tools, respond to and
comment on contributions made by others, upload and download files,
edit shared documents and e-mail the whole community. Each portal
is administrated by its own personnel who intervene where necessary
to encourage involvement and organise the knowledge produced.
What can you do at e-Catalunya?
- Work together, expound, make
yourself known, seek out information, establish relationships of
trust with colleagues, make recommendations and object. Basically
communicate with other professionals in your field and with those
who share your interests.
- Gain access to the production of
new content and knowledge generated directly by people and/or
groups and, at the same time, make a contribution to that
knowledge.
- Get involved in public
participation initiatives, give your opinion, and make your voice
heard.
- Identify trends, reach
consensus, start-up and consolidate projects.
