introduction Content • Goals and objectives • WP Structure • Tasks • Partners and resources • Work done • Deliverables completed • Lessons learned • Outlook
about WP Goals and objectives • Web services are often trapped in a vicious circle. If a repository is empty, people are not motivated to enter their own data into the repository, therefore, the repository remains empty. • The objective of this workpackage is to cut this vicious circle by providing an initial set of content that would establish the resource as a relevant one. • Then the snowball effect would take care of scientists being personally interested in entering their work.
