  2. ENEA Web Site Activity Plan • Web Site Information Model, its goals and functionality • User Requirements Analysis • Technical Specifications according to the • Usability Methodology • Cascade Web Site Architecture • Cascade Web Site Multimedia Information Guidelines • Cascade Web Site General Management • Web and Advanced Visual Interface to Material Databases Usability Lab 2002

  3. Web Site Model General Aspects The complex structure of a “Web Site“ will be distributed. Its functions and the management would be in relation to both the LCA Theme and the future new information technologies. Cascade Goals To create a new LCA information market and to offer new products (value added services) and, at the same time, to assure flexibility in responding to the user requirements.

Cascade Web Site provides multimedia showcases of LCA results which are arranged so as to make it as easy as possible for the general public, the scientific and the business community to find what they need. There are two Cascade Web Sites the first is a public Web, instead the second, is reserved for the Cascade Partners. Usability Lab 2002

  11. Cascade Web Site Design Guidelines • The design guidelines consist of three parts (A, B, C), the first • provides a general description of the Web and the Web-DB • applications. • General description of the Web and Web-DBs Appl.
