Abstract

An ePetition is a petition that gathers support electronically. The review of existing ePetition cases reveals that the real impact of current ePetition practices is difficult to be addressed and evaluated. This difficulty is also due to the lack/incompleteness of specific and unified methodologies for the evaluation of ePetition results. In this framework, the authors in this chapter are firstly presenting an overview of existing methodologies for the evaluation and assessment of ePetition approaches. Then, they propose a unified and complete methodology for the in-depth evaluation of an ePetition approach. The last part of the chapter is devoted to the presentation of the main results from the real-life application of this evaluation methodology, in the context of an FP7-funded project.
