Stage 1 - Identification
During Stage 1
of the ET.gov process components
are identified by
following the two steps indicated in the menu to
the left.
Alternatively, you can download the schema and use your
own XML authoring software to create and post the instance document on
your Web site and then proceed directly to step b. Adobe provided
a prototype
form and other vendors could
do likewise but have not done so thus far.
Components that have been identified thus far can be discovered by
searching and browsing on the Search Components
screen.
Please note that the search capabilities we are able to provide are
resource constrained. For example, we are unable to provide the
capability to search and browse against all facets of our schema. However, since
the
source documents are in valid XML format and freely available on the
Web, anyone can index them. To facilitate such services, we are
providing a listing of the URLs at http://www.et.gov/component_list.aspx
For example, i411 (now IntelligenX)
and
BTS
have
provided a prototype of an enhanced,
faceted search service at http://etgov.i411.com
If and, hopefully, when any other service providers choose to provide
enhanced search
capabilities
and their sites conform to our linking policies, we will be happy to
provide such additional links for the benefit of our
stakeholders. If you
are aware of any additional services indexing ET.gov instance
documents, please use the Contact ET.gov mailto
link below to let us know about them. |
