eGov Projects & Milestones

[Editor's Note: For purposes of historical continuity and referential integrity on the xml.gov site, this listing of projects identified in the eGov Strategy was archived from its former location at
http://egov.gov/egovreport-3.cfm on February 5, 2003.  XML schemas are implicit in each of these projects.  As soon as practical, those schemas should be made explicit -- in the context of the FEA DRM -- through registration in the XML repository.  We understand OMB plans to provide an updated version of this listing at another URL.  If and when that occurs, it is our intention to provide a link to it here.  In the meantime, we are providing links pointing directly to the milestones previously identified for each of the projects:  Recreation One-Stop | Eligibility Assistance Online | Online Access for LoansUSA ServicesEZ Tax Filing | Online Rulemaking Management | Expanding Electronic Tax Products for Businesses | Federal Asset Sales | International Trade Process StreamliningOne-Stop Business Compliance Information | Geospatial Information One-Stope-Grants | Disaster Assistance and Crisis Response | Project SAFECOM | e-Vital | e-Training | Recruitment One-Stop | Integrated Human Resources | e-Clearance | e-Payroll/HR | e-Travel | Integrated Acquisition Environment | Electronic Records Management | e-Authentication | Federal Enterprise Architecture]
