Purpose of Open Gov should be to find metrics about "Cost of Service" delivered by each Federal, State, Local government agency. These performance metrics should be roll up-able, drill down-able and linked to procurement process, where applicable.
How do we visualize "Cost of service" per citizen or unit? Here are some examples:
a) Average cost of educating a 5th grader in an year in each state
b) Average cost of processing Tax per citizen (IRS Centric)
c) Average cost of Homeland Security per citizen (DHS Centric)
d) Average cost of Boarder Protection per mile.
e) Average cost of processing TANF per person (State Health Department Centric)
f) Average cost of Juvenile correction/management per person
g) Average cost of Social Security Administration per Citizen (SSA centric)
h) Average cost of Census per person
i) Average Cost of processing immigration per person
j) Average Cost/time of hiring per person
k) Average cost of metro bus maintenance per bus per year
l) Ratio of employees and contractors in each agency
m) Average cost of contractor and employee in each agency
n) Cost of processing payroll per employee in an agency
and so forth,
It is NOT about Technology, CMS, Cloud Computing, Web 2.0, Virtualization, Web Services, Semantics, e-record management, e-rulemaking, XML, SOA, FOIA or any Framework or whatever. It is NOT about technology. It is not that Web 2.0 or social networking system or citizen collaboration with Government can help find above information.
And in case you agree to above, please add some more examples via comments.
Thank you.
