The system developed is exploiting Intranet and Extranet technologies enabling asynchronous and synchronous cooperation, manipulation of information from heterogeneous sources, security and easy administration, providing in parallel advanced communication facilities. We propose an innovative approach for the development of shared workspaces over WWW, based on state-of-the-art software platforms, integrating WWW and database technologies. The whole system was developed under a project funded by the Greek General Secretariat of Research and Technology and aims in the efficient distribution and management of information between and within different types of local authorities (Municipalities, Prefectures).}, author = {Christos Bouras and Vasilis Triantafillou and P Destounis and J Garofalakis and J Tzimas and P Zarafidis} }
