  12. Methodological issues • Scope of e-government •  Threshold in terms of level of interaction ??? • Selection of the survey items, e.g. do we consider the non-interactive «obtaining information from public authorities’ websites» as e-government? • Definition of the items, e.g. is «downloading a form» e-government, or only «downloading a form to fill in on-line» ? • Current practice in the EU surveys (demand side + supply side): all levels are taken into account but are collected separately, i.e. more restrictive regroupings ex-post are possible.

  13. Methodological issues • Scope of e-government(continued) •  Narrow or broad definition ? • Public administration (strictly linked to rights/obligations of being registered in a country or municipality, i.e. traditional « red tape ») • Public services (including e.g. garbage collection or public swimming pools) • Current practice in the EU demand side surveys: Up to now: «public authorities» (cfr. Benchmarking Indicators); From 2006 onwards, the household survey will refer to «public services and administration». • Current practice in the EU supply side surveys: Scope is delimited by the fixed list of 20 services.
