I'll suggest that we go with "web page with a maintained list of Open
Government Data". We could discuss about the "discovery service" on Thursday.

"The computerisation of various governmental agencies dates back to 1989"
"The computerisation of various governmental agencies has constantly been
on the increase since then. To date, there are around 60 departmental
systems already operational and some 40 major projects under
implementation.
These back office applications are a major building block of the
e-Government
programme."
From
http://www.the-report.net/mauritius/jun2012/111-q-a-mr-kemraz-mohee-general-manager-of-state-informatics-limited
"SIL approaches e-government from the bottom up, and we have implemented
many operational systems and applications."
From a 2013 report:
"The MICT is currently examining a proposal of Rs 140 million
from Microsoft
for the supply of licenses valid for a period of 3.5 years up to
June 2016."
There would be some data in machine-readable format as the above says
that various governmental agencies have been computerised.
