TY - CONF T1 - Cooperative Information Systems over the Internet and the WWW T2 - EUROMEDIA 99-APTEC, Munich, Germany Y1 - 1999 A1 - Christos Bouras A1 - Vasilis Triantafillou A1 - P Destounis A1 - J Garofalakis A1 - J Tzimas A1 - P Zarafidis AB - In this paper we present a WWW-based approach for the development of a system supporting information sharing within an organizational environment. 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).
