Paper Abstract:
|
The development of the information society and related activities have been the priority of European Union (EU) policies in the recent years. For the period 2007-2013, millions of euros of EU Structural Funds (SF) have been earmarked for carrying out activities and developments related to the transition of the Estonian public sector to the information society. Many projects, both successful and unsuccessful, have been initiated within the SF. This article gives an overview of a project Citizen view of paperless records management and the development of participatory democracy solutions in local authorities carried out in about hundred local authorities and aimed at improving their digital records management on the basis of existing Electronic Document Records Management Systems (EDRMSs). Project partners included local authorities, EDRMS developers, and the state in the form of a working group. The project lasted for 1.5 years and resulted in the development of preconditions for digital records management, further development of electronic local authority model and application of e-governance components. The project allowed the Estonian local authorities to improve their digital records management and develop preconditions for service-oriented functionality and participatory democracy. |
