BRinging Innovative Developments for GEographic Information Technology - IST 2001

The overall goal of the project is to provide better and more efficient tools for the development, deployment, discovery and composability (composition) of distributed web-services with special emphasis on the key combination of geographical information (GI) and e-commerce (EC) services. Geographic information is an important element integrating many application areas, because nearly all entities have a geographical component -everything happens somewhere- and many services are location-dependent. Better tools for developing and integrating GI and EC services will enable providers to better deploy and chain their services on the web, more dynamically and at a lower cost. Better tools for discovery and composability of web-services will increase the use of these services and consequently help to build a more viable market place.
