Abstract
The internet offers a new way of shaping the messages that the State transmits to its citizens and provides a means of generating new relationships with them. With this in mind, this paper focuses on how State-produced information should be organized to provide a useful information service. The proper generation and management of public sector information is essential, not just for its own inherent value but because of the economic assets with which it deals. In this context of the access to and the re-use of public information there is also a need for the use of specific terminology. This paper sets out the general principles governing the management of information generated by the public sector and, with respect to the inventory principle, summarizes the main results obtained within the framework of our research group on the identification and description of public sector information and documentation assets, particularly those of State authorities. This subject is of great interest to practitioners and researchers in Library and Information Science, since it puts into perspective the value of documentary information resources and provides great impetus for the creation of a public information services market.

Summary
Si pensamos que antes de reservar el restaurante en el que cenaremos esta noche podemos consultar los informes de las últimas inspecciones que han realizado en él las autoridades de consumo, o en que en el momento de someter a nuestro hijo a una operación de menisco tenemos a nuestro alcance una tabla comparativa con el tiempo medio de recuperación de esa intervención en cada uno de los hospitales de la región, nos damos cuenta de que nada impide que esas informaciones estén a nuestro alcance en tiempo real. Esa metáfora de la «ventana» a la que se refería Max Weber hace un siglo cuando hablaba del acceso de la prensa a la información parlamentaria, se ha ampliado generosamente: el diputado que habla desde la tribuna parlamentaria, además de a sus colegas se asoma a los medios de comunicación; pero ahora también se puede poner al alcance de cada ciudadano que tenga un ordenador conectado a Internet toda una panoplia de información de gran utilidad para su vida cotidiana. Dado el gran número de éstos, en nuestros trabajos anteriores hemos optado por analizar las publicaciones oficiales y las bases de datos de la Administración General del Estado, lo que nos ha servido para trazar la metodología a seguir en el estudio de los restantes activos de información. Resaltar las dificultades que presenta la elaboración del inventario de recursos y el acceso a los mismos, a tenor de los resultados obtenidos en investigaciones anteriores
