Although it was begun in 1993, predating any formal E-Government initiative, the NBII typifies the E-Government concepts outlined in the Presidents Management Agenda, as well as in the proposed E-Government Act of 2002. This articlean individual case study and not a broad survey with extensive references to the literatureexplores the structure and operation of the NBII in relation to several emerging trends in E-Government: end-user focus, defined and scalable milestones, public-private partnerships, alliances with stakeholders, and interagency cooperation
