Abstract
This chapter considers the public sector usage of EDI in the context of the information society and a new information infrastructure. Reflecting on the recent governmental plan for the Info-Society Year 2000 in Denmark, and similar initiatives in other countries, four theses about the information society are suggested as a framework for an analysis of how EDI contributes to the information infrastructure of the information society. The contribution of EDI to a new type of infrastructure is analyzed by reference not only to its expected operational impact but also to its impact on the legitimacy of the public sector.
