The National Education Technology Plan is available in open, standard, machine-readable StratML format at http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/drybridge/index.htm#NETP or, more specifically, http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/NETPwStyle.xml 

 

It is good to see that ED’s digital strategy is available in XML format (as well as JSON) at http://www.ed.gov/digitalstrategy However, it would be better if it were available in an open, standard XML format, like StratML.  

 

The governmentwide Digital Strategy was already in the StratML collection, at http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/carmel/DGSwStyle.xml   

 

So too now is ED’s digital strategy, at http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/drybridge/index.htm#ED or, more specifically, http://xml.fido.gov/stratml/cusson/EDDSwStyle.xml

e-Governance Community Group,


 


Americans would like for there to be a mood of optimistic hope as we hand the e-textbooks and computers to the schoolchildren in the United States in the upcoming years.  As we can see in the news, there is much work to be done and there is sufficient time to do it; we expect to be handing computers to public school students around 2015/2016 in the United States.


 


Journalists are presenting American scientists with a situation report (http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB436/) and strategic planning can formulate solutions towards 2015/2016.  We can research existing plans:

and can commence inclusive plan formulation phases, can generate new plans, can organize and participate in conferences, workshops, brainstorming, and can express, can achieve consensus with regard to and can establish milestones towards 2015/2016.


 


The Department of Education National Education Technology Plan (http://www.ed.gov/edblogs/technology/netp-2010/) had inclusive plan formulation processes in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2009 and such processes may be once more upcoming.


 


There are a growing number of topics which can be expanded into new plan components:


 
Digital forms, questionnaires, surveys and polls (http://www.w3.org/community/egovernance/2013/08/22/digital-forms-questionnaires-surveys-and-opinion-polls/).

P3P 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/, http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P11/, http://www.w3.org/TR/p3p-rdfschema/).
Notes and civic participation (http://www.w3.org/community/egovernance/2013/09/03/the-web-notes-and-civic-participation/).

Integrated personal information manager features, platform application interoperability features, including Web browser.  Notes from Web browsing and Web-based research, notes regarding or about Web browsing tasks.

Local, city, state and national news during and between elections.

PubSub (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish–subscribe_pattern#See_also, http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/, http://www.w3.org/community/pubsub/).
Increased multidisciplinary science, National Science Foundation CISE and SBE.   Multidisciplinary journals, CISE/SBE, education technology journals on ERIC (http://eric.ed.gov/).
BCP47 and speech technology API’s (https://edutechdebate.org/, http://www.neh.gov/news/press-release/2013-09-10).

Continued modernizations in government transparency (http://www.data.gov/, http://www.data.gov/developers/page/developer-resources).
Public debate, Web video, PBS, C-SPAN.
