<<In my testimony, I [John Lewis Needham] will cover four main points: • First, I’ll share some trends in how Americans connect with government online; • Second, I’ll identify the challenges that citizens face in trying to find government information and services on the Internet; • Third, I’ll explain a technology known as the Sitemap Protocol or simply Sitemaps, an open standard that enables web site owners – including government agencies – to make their content more accessible to search engine users; and • Finally, I will highlight a few of our successful partnerships with government, and outline steps that agencies across the federal government can take to make their web sites more accessible.>> |
