  2. The InfoSys Cooperation • Operative Aims • - to integrate European web resources (meta-information, yellow pages) • - platform for the decentralised management of factual information • - cross database searches • - to provide services for different ARD actors (synergy philosophy)

  3. The InfoSys Cooperation • EIARD InfoSys: From concept to implementation • - 'Warwick' Feasibility Study, January 1996; • InfoSys Preparatory Workshop, 23/ 24 September 1996, Bonn • Core Group Meeting on the 17 of March 1997, Brussels • project proposal on EIARD- InfoSys, August 1997 • nomination of National Nodes • granted by DG XII in December 1997 • project started: 1.1.1998 EIARD -WG Meeting in Brussels, March 22, 2001

  4. The InfoSys Cooperation • Evaluation frame • - Participatory project monitoring and evaluation • (workshops & online) • User study • Web trends analysis • Guest book on our pages EIARD -WG Meeting in Brussels, March 22, 2001

  10. Mode of Operation • Cooperative organisational model • - decentralised network of National Nodes • - cooperative, public & open system • Cooperative technical model • - generic technical developments (incl. open source applications) • - advanced technology development • - technology‚ easy to handle • Cooperative model for information exchange & management • - integrative, aiming at strentghening partners Web offers (InfoAgrar) • - participative in technology development (NATURA) • - decentralised access portals to the InfoSys data pool

  11. EIARD-InfoSys National Nodes

  12. The Meta-Information System Working Groups on InfoSys 1. WG Thesaurus:Norway, Swiss 2. WG Cross database searches:Italy, Spain, Greece, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, United Kingdom 3. WG Systems´ review: Finland, Swiss, CEC, EIARD 4. WG Technical innovations: Italy, Belgium, Germany Steering Group CTA, EIARD Sec., InfoAgrar, Univ. Norway, Metafro, CIRAD, GFAR

  13. Matching user-demands: The InfoAgrar User Study and need for changes on InfoSys • The Recommendations of the Evaluation • Promote the system and strengthen National Nodes:enlarge user circle > stimulates data input > attracts more users • KISS: keep it simply structured:provide simple and fast search tools, enhance current structure • Increase data input:gives more significance and publicity to the system,wide range of subjects is needed • Develop a news and other new services:increases the prominence of EIARD-InfoSys as an information gateway • Target the main user-groups:people active in the area of Research / Provision of Information / Education, each with their preferences detailed in the study InfoSys Workshop, Florence, March 8-9, 2001 / Felix Hintermann

  14. Mode of Operation • Cooperative organisational model • - decentralised network of National Nodes • - cooperative, public & open system • Cooperative technical model • - generic technical developments (incl. open source applications) • - advanced technology development • - technology‚ easy to handle • Cooperative model for information exchange & management • - integrative, aiming at strentghening partners Web offers (InfoAgrar) • - participative in technology development (NATURA) • - decentralised access portals to the InfoSys data pool

  37. The InfoSys Cooperation Recent developments

  38. The InfoSys Cooperation Conclusions - Participatory project development already includes strong evaluatory aspects - Systems management needs high flexibility to cope with such demands - Though web applications offer interestings tools for evaluation the knowledge about user demands with respect to systems‘ performance and content is needed - The construction of web based information systems is more the way than an end in itself...due to - ongoing technical web revolutions - user demands towards web offers and systems performance - There is an obvious need for more research!
