4.2.1: Web Standards and Guidance Policies

Use modern technology, such as the Internet, to further engage and inform citizens about the Department

Other Information:

DOI intends to use modern technology, such as the Internet, to further engage and inform citizens about the Department. As DOI implements open government principles through increased utilization of modern technology, the Department’s Web standards may have to accommodate changes in its guidelines to facilitate this transformation. The Departmental Web Standards Handbook (386 DM 3, Handbook) issued by the DOI CIO, contains Web policies and guidance for implementing and maintaining the Web presence in the Department. The DOI Web Council has also developed a draft guidance document for the use of Social Media as an official means of communication from DOI. Increased usage of the Web and Social Media to promote participation, collaboration, and transparency may expedite the need to update these publications for web standards and guidance policies to allow for the realization of DOI’s open government efforts.
