Background Finding things on the Internet can be difficult. The structured descriptions are more complex, electronic versions of library index cards and are known as metadata. NOIE is coordinating AGLS implementation . Users will not need to know which jurisdiction or agency is responsible for a particular function, they just need to describe their area of interest or need in everyday English. The State Government provides community nursing, housing services, assessment services, physiotherapist advice on home modifications and other assistance.
Local government provides home help, some respite care, transport services and other services.
Even for health care professionals, finding out the range of government assistance available in the area, and the right contacts in the right location, can be a difficult task. The Tasmanian Entry Point was launched as the Service Tasmania site in April 2000. Metadata is used for both searching and navigation in the Service Tasmania site. Service Tasmania delivers a number of services such as payments, application for birth or marriage certificates. It has basic metadata for 125 government sites and 5000 linked business and community sites.
