How can I predict and/or identify and/or understand e-transparency project failure?

The guidance provided below is therefore the same as for eGovernment projects in general, and following the links will take you to the primary topic on this website, Success and Failure in eGovernment Projects. All these materials apply equally to e-transparency projects because e-transparency projects are just one type of e-government project.
