We do not attempt to list here all forms of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that might be used within a public consultation. Instead, we attempt to explain how you can go about selecting appropriate technologies for use in e-consultation.

  1. Selecting technologies
  2. Technology classification
  3. Technology matching for E-consultation
  4. Possible innovations
