The eGovernment search engine 'Italia.gov.it' is stepping up efforts to improve the transparency and usability of information held by the Public Administration (PA).

3 - Description:

'Italia.gov.it' is an intelligent search engine and directory of websites, designed and managed by the National Agency for the Digitisation of Public Administration (DigitPA) to facilitate the access of citizens, professionals and businesses to digital services and information for the general public. Furthermore, it serves as an 'engine of change' for all online government services in order to improve their use of
digital communication technologies, through the tools of electronic participation, the integration of connecting channels, the monitoring of all updates and the provision of innovations within the digital world.

The search engine released on 'Italia.gov.it' is key among the tools made available by DigitPA. The portal is realising an extensive repository of digital services provided by the PA and eGovernment in Italy based on major institutional sources (index of public administrations, the directories of the Italian National Institute of Statistics, the Department for the Civil Service, the ministries and the local authority associations).

The recently updated portal provides immediate access to some of the repository's information, including more than 20 000 certified email addresses, 1 500 online services and modules, 6 000 municipal notice boards and 60 000 web pages. A feature of the portal and the engine is the search for information published on public sites and its subsequent transfer to the system via innovative selection and guidance tools.
