This paper provides a summary of the initial development of a Web portal for the digital government domain. Information retrieval techniques commonly used to find information on the Internet are discussed along with the problems associated with these techniques that led to the development of the Digital Government Web portal (DGPort). We also discuss the advantages that DGPort could have for researchers in the digital government domain as well as the value-added features that this portal provides. Future evaluation plans for the portal are also described.
