Data

Management
If successful policy measures can be
identified which facilitate inclusion /
prevent exclusion of some societal groups,
it is likely that – if these policy measures
are modified towards the use of universally
accessible IST-based technologies – they
would unfold an even more powerful
inclusion potential towards all citizens.
