Abstract

The digital shift that is occurring in governments globally ranges from the use of technology to digitize existing procedures and services in search of efficiency gains (e-government), to the use of data and digital technologies to rethink and reorganize the way in which governments deliver public value (digital government), in order to foster open, innovative and collaborative governance. This digital government transformation needs to be understood before its implementation and adoption. This article defines the term "digital government" and describes some conceptual and evaluation frameworks for its change. Finally, the new materials of the number are introduced.
