OVERVIEW
23
Work Area AContent Engineering

• Digitization of 2- and 3-dimensional objects
  using data capturing systems already on the
  market
• Use of Dublin Core Metadata to enable Cross
  Domain searches within the 'virtual union'
  catalogue (generation via an available Metadata
  Editor or Harvester)
• Use of documentation standards in the different
  domains (MARC21, CIDOC, AMICO/CIMI, CDWA, EAD,
  ISAD(G), TEI, ...)
• Use or modification of existing Document Type
  Definitions (XML-DTDs) to describe objects and
  collections (eg. AMICO, or CIMI-based) as well as
  products
• Storage of XML (Extensible Markup Language)
  structured data in data bases at the content
  provider's site
• Development of Stylesheets (XSL) for data
  presentation in online or printed form (eg.
  dedicated and personalized catalogues)

24
Work Area BPlatform Engineering (1)

• Implementation of a B2B-commerce system based on
  XML-data transfer, following existing and
  emerging standards as specified by the ebXML
  community.
• Implementation of a B2C-commerce system including
  an 'internet auction' system.
• Integration of a distributed search and retrieval
  (SR) component based on Z39.50 standard or
  similar methodologies based on XML and http
  protocol, for accessing distributed Cultural
  Heritage related catalogues as well as
  product/Service catalogues in the eBusiness
  environment.

25
Work Area BPlatform Engineering (1)

• Integration of a customer management system based
  on relational data base management supoorting
  customer relationships.
• Use of an appropriate integration environment for
  all the middleware components (B2B, B2C, SR,
  RDBMS, Metadata Management, ).
• Usage of Open Software Standards and Software
  available preferable in the public domain (eg.
  LINUX).
• Usage of low cost hardware.
• Integration of wireless access to the REGNET
  System.

26
Work Area CEnterprise Engineering (1)

• Definition of Core Processes for REGNET,
  comprising at least
• access and data entry to distributed catalogues,
  
• a shopping cart system,
• creation of a personalized catalogue based on
  retrieved data from the 'virtual catalogue' (in
  printed and electronic form),
• an auction system (eg. duplicates of posters),
  and
• a delivery system for physical goods (eg. goods
  from museum stores).
• Use of XML/EDI (eg Simple-eCo Elements like
  Order, Invoice, Despatch, Report, ...) for
  exchange of business data (based on ebXML
  recommendations).

27
Work Area CEnterprise Engineering (2)

• Use of XML/EDI like methodology (eg Simple-eCo
  Elements like Order, Invoice, Despatch, Report,
  ...) for exchange of business data (based on
  ebXML recommendations).
• Definition of the workflow connected with the
  creation of a electronic publication (eg.
  storyboard development, content management,
  compilation of data, production, delivery) as
  reference model for electronic publishing
• Definition of appropriate 'business profiles'
  evolved from different functions and processes
  (eg 'content manager') for the involved
  personnel (following the recommendations to the
  European Parliaments just being worked out).

28
Work Packages (1)

• WP-1 Analysis of the State of the Art and
  Development of Concepts
• Definition of content to be provided,
  development of a documentation and digitisation
  plan for content creation and management (Work
  Area A).Identification of standards to be used,
  development of the user requirements and system
  requirements specifications (Work Area
  B).Development of the legal framework and
  partnership model, definition of supported
  business functions, identification of market
  (Segments) and user groups (Work Area C)

  preparation of the demonstration phase.

30
Work Packages (3)

• WP-4 Demonstration
• The REGNET-System will be used in a trial
  services which includes an initial testing phase
  (selected users). The REGNET-demonstration part
  of the project includes execution of the
  demonstration phase (trial service) refinement
  of system and services where appropriate and
  necessary analysis of the trial service.
• WP-5 Development of an exploitation plan
• Development of an exploitation plan on different
  levels (content providers, service providers,
  business access points). The plan has to include
  new models of co-operations and partnerships.

31

  and electronic publications. Special attention
  will be drawn to the participation of project
  members in relevant standardisation committees
  and workshops.
• WP-7 Project Management
• This work package includes management, reporting,
  quality assurance, etc. The management activities
