1 Introduction
Government information resources is an important national resource, the performance of a variety of forms, including the content is extremely broad, including: government decision-making information for the community service, feedback and inter-governmental exchange of information. The information described in this paper is mainly the sharing of resources between government departments cross-sectoral information exchange through communication and information sharing can maximize the value of current, governments at all levels portal construction has been basically completed and the function of static information website has been to perfect, the online business for taking shape. to achieve the government sharing of information resources will be beneficial to implement e-government development in China from the early stages of a smooth transition to a higher level, so in the face of "information silos" of information across departments Sharing difficult issues such circumstances, the government should pay attention to information sharing in order to really play its due role in e-government.


2 China's current government information resources sharing in the presence of obstacles
(1 economic barriers. Government information not open to the public information about the long-term disadvantage in a passive position, administrative information technology department, department of information persistence of the privatization of the Government monopoly on information combined with information on rent-seeking sector is far lower than the risk of corruption, the civil service In a rational economic man, driven by the use of information resources for personal gain, though, "Open Government Information>> has been adopted and promulgated, but the monopoly of information has long been deeply embedded and truly open government information efforts will be necessary. Similarly, the department information sharing between the people but also for the economic assumptions associated with costs and rent-seeking huge information space, to achieve the sharing of information resources of various departments, is bound to lead to a strong outflow of information department of information resources, affecting their departments and individual interests, and thus lead to conflicts of interests.

(2 institutional barriers. The current organizational structure of our government is a hierarchical system of vertical and horizontal two-dimensional matrix structure functions of the system in a fragmented management system, the main information flow within the system. With the development of information technology, government administration needs, although most government departments have their own information systems, communication networks, storage centers and terminals, but these systems are basically split between the vertical system. respective management information systems department, independent of each other, isolated network between departments , mostly through the public network to achieve a certain degree of interoperability; sector data exclusivity, can not be shared, and even mutual confidentiality, the department can not be exchanged between the terminal, coupled with government departments, poor communication of information of the exclusive supply of the more serious, the lack of macro- regulation, resulting in the first parallel and distributed information resources wasteful duplication of a very serious problem, but also affected the quality of information resources, thus impeding the sharing of information.

(3 legal obstacles for government information disclosure and confidentiality laws and regulations is quite lacking, especially for government information sharing regulations inadequate. Behind the principle of confidentiality will be restricted to a certain extent, the efficiency of government information sharing, thereby affecting the government's efficiency, undermine the government's image. to achieve inter-departmental sharing of information resources, the government must establish a legal information resource sharing system, such as government information, government information protection, access to government information, national security and other aspects of the legal system. to break China In the government information resources disclosure, confidentiality, collecting, publishing, sharing, lack of relevant laws and regulations and management systems of the situation, no laws to prevent sharing of information resources of the status quo.

(4) standardization of obstacles since the government since the start of the Internet has not fully implemented e-government to improve government efficiency, provide convenient targets. The reason, the most important factor is the support of e-government information resources are scarce, the information resource is not in the whole society in efficiently shared. government information collection, processing, storage, transmission, distribution and lack of uniform standards of effective norms, resulting in the information management process different path, double handling, situations such as information distortion, information delay, information overload range of issues, resulting in government information quality, a serious impediment to the exchange of information resources, integration, analysis and use, further restricting the development and utilization of information resources and sharing, not only caused a serious waste of resources, it is difficult to form and scale advantages efficiency, therefore, strengthen the government's construction of information resources management standardization is even more urgent.

(5 security barriers. Information security and information disclosure is the natural enemy, involving state secrets, national security, confidential information needs, and sharing of information resources requires a high degree of information disclosure, this is bound to affect the confidentiality of information, confidential information system affect the openness but also on a higher information security requirements of computer failure, virus infection and experienced hackers intrusion, disclosure, alteration and a series of problems hampered the efficiency of information resource sharing view of the imperfections of information security and information security firewall legislative lag, many government departments to avoid disclosure of information In order to prevent disclosure of confidential information, respectively, in the information security level is difficult circumstances, often choose a small public or private, has increased the difficulty of sharing information resources.

3 strengthen the response of government information sharing
(1 to strengthen the civil service and professional quality of education in professional ethics training. To strengthen the ideological education, so that civil servants have clear organizational goals and norms of behavior, establish common values ​​and norms, to avoid value judgments on the mistakes, the responsibility to establish a correct view of , performance, and interests, consciously asked myself. so that civil servants fully understand the important role of information sharing, to ensure the independence of information, enhance the performance of civil consciousness and awareness, is strictly prohibited intent or personal likes and dislikes based on personal information to use rent-seeking, while through skills training, theory, and a series of training activities to enhance the civil service to enhance the professional quality of a genuine understanding of the nature of e-government, thereby reducing the negative concept of information resources sharing.

(2 to optimize the government information management. Compartmentalization of two-dimensional management model resulted in the information management responsibilities is unclear, the interests of unknown, complicated relationships and other issues, resulting in closure of information management, disorder, chaos, digital information resources and sharing of low level. Thus, we can learn from chief information officers (Chief Information of Officer, CIO) management system. with the CIO's role in coordination and management of government information for unified supervision and management, integrated information management system of different interests, coordination exchange of government information gathering, promotion of government information resources sharing.

(3 improve e-government information sharing laws and regulations. E-government cross-sectoral legislation is a prerequisite for successful sharing of information resources through the development of relevant laws and regulations, all information in the clear on the subject of legal rights and responsibilities between different government departments to share information rights and obligations, duties functions, information sharing conditions, the scope of information sharing in the form of express provision of law, promote and regulate the flow of information and sharing from the global point of view, many countries have formulated and promulgated a special law to protect their e-government healthy development, for example, in the United States <<Freedom of Information Act >>,<< >>,<< U.S. Government Information Disclosure Act Federal Information Resources Management Act>> a series of laws, regulations and departmental rules and regulations. As a result, China can learn from advanced experience of other countries, establish and improve China's legal system to share information resources.

(4 to establish e-government standardization system, breaking the barriers to sharing of information resources. Standardization is the key to information sharing between departments, only to develop the collection, processing, handling, exchange of uniform standards, and different data, different users in the conversion of standards and related technical standards, information can flow freely in a standard format by setting up a reasonable collection of information system, and build a unified government information resources, libraries and government information resource network to eliminate barriers to information sharing. First, the establishment of a standardized classification of information gathering , according to the classification of information needs, classification of information collection. Meanwhile, the government information collection for unified planning, each government department only within the purview of the generation and collection of information, and planned processing, transmission, distribution, use, storage and distribution information, avoid duplication of collection brings a lot of duplication and the adverse effects of information overload, second, the establishment of orderly government information resources and their exploitation system. to adopt a uniform information exchange standards, common language and models synchronization control and other methods of information between government departments to ensure the smooth flow of information.

(5 to build autonomy and self-control with the right information security system. Information security system in the building of confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity and control and other specific requirements present, we should focus on strengthening the global information security products supporting and scientific layout, equipment and information to achieve the government's physical security within the network, establishment of emergency support centers and data backup systems to ensure system security, autonomy and self-control with the right to build the information security system.
