The European Commission, DG Information Society and Media, has started a series of measures to support the creation of comprehensive eGovernment services across all levels of the Union. The "Good Practice Framework" (GPF) is a centrepiece in this strategy.
The main objectives of this Good Practice Framework are:

to collect examples of well-defined eGovernment cases.
to make the examples available for those involved in eGovernment by means of an intelligent knowledge database.
to offer expert know-how on general or special eGovernment features and providing easy access to existing communities or expertise centres.
to support the sustainable transfer of good practices and learning experiences in an easy and helpful way.

The scope of the good practices covered in the database ranges from eGovernment strategies about the standardisation of eGovernment processes to concrete solutions and technical issues.
