FDsys: GPO’s Digital Content System Selene Dalecky March 20, 2007

How it All Started (or, I'll Just “Google” It) • Access to government published information is widely expected to be electronic …and it’s expected to be available almost immediately

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow Are you sure this hasn’t been altered?

The Challenges… • Digital information needs to be authentic • Digital information needs to be verifiable in terms of versions • Digital information needs to stay available in perpetuity

…and GPO’s Solution GPO’s Future Digital System (FDsys) will be a world class system for managing official Government content. The system will verify and track versions, assure authenticity, preserve content, and provide permanent public access. The system will be: – Rules based – Policy neutral – Modular and adaptable

FDsys Will: • Automate the collection and warehousing of electronic information from all three branches of government • Act as a secure, trusted, auditable digital environment • Provide for Web searching, viewing, downloading and printing • Provide document masters for conventional and on-demand printing FDsys Will Not: • Mow the lawn • Act as a teleportation device • Win American Idol
