The document discusses challenges facing the Dutch government in providing information to citizens through 1600+ websites run by 1200+ organizations, and efforts to improve findability and access to information through standardizing metadata and developing knowledge models. It describes the Overheid Web Metadata Standard and linked open data initiatives to organize government information according to common properties and allow linking between datasets. The goal is to make information more accessible through semantic linking and queries based on themes, locations, life events or other structured approaches.

All that is required is the will and willingness of the centre to give up control . The web and the internet offers us a chance to reinvent “ deliberative democracy ” for the modern age. Deliberatieve democratie? Polderen!
