Case Study on the Government and Information Public Access (GIPA) project

Presented by Darren and Paul from Gosford City Council

A case study on Gosford City council’s Government Information Public Access project. The project involved Council’s obligations when providing information in a proactive, transparent and accessible manner to the public. The presentation will highlight the challenges faced and the measures taken to deliver a workable solution in a very tight timeframe.

The technology underlying the solution includes DataWorks / ECM (EDMS), 2 Windows Services, a C# thick client configuration app, J-Query and Google Site Search. We will outline how each component fits together to form the end product. There will also be a brief demo of the Phase 2 development - depending on maturity, is likely to take the form of a 2 – 3 minute screen-grab movie.
