As the business of government, like that of the rest of the world, increasingly is done digitally, managing official records becomes more important. It isn’t only the volume of information that’s changing; oversight required to manage electronic records also is also increasing.

Das Office of Management and Budget wird alle Bundesbehörden demnächst anweisen, bis spätestens 2006 eine Inventarliste der IPv6-fähigen Systeme anzufertigen und bis 2008 die Netzwerke auf das neue IPv6-Protokoll umzustellen. Dies geht aus der gestrigen Anhörungen von Regierungs- und Industrieverteteren vor einem Ausschuss des US-Kongresses sowie einem Bericht des Governement Accountability Office (GAO) hervor. Besonders interessant sind für die US-Behörden dabei die Sicherheitsfunktionen und eine bessere Integration von mobilen Überwachungssensoren. Laut Aussage des Ausschussvorsitzenden Tom Davis trage die intelligent vernetzte Datenerfassung zur optimalen Homeland Security bei.
