Scientific Projects

Introduction

Digital Libraries (DL) have been made possible through the integration and use of a number of IC technologies, the availability of digital content on a global scale and a strong demand for users who are now online. They are destined to become essential part of the information infrastructure in the 21st century.

1. The goal of the project and the use of the results after finishing the project

The goal of the project is to develop an online plagiarism-search portal that helps both digital libraries to protect their documents, and teachers, professors to find copied work or publications. The portal would also give information about the Hungarian legal issues corresponding to this special field, and would include a discussion forum as well.

HEKTÁR: Applying open digital library recommandations to Hungarian electronic libraries.

DSD opened the Hungarian Office of the World Wide Web Consortium on 1 September 2002.

W3C was founded in October 1994 to lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing common protocols that promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability. W3C has more than 400 Member organizations from around the world and has earned international recognition for its contributions to the growth of the Web.

New Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are present in all areas of society and public administration.

Nowadays, the relations between citizens and public administration are characterised by the increasing use of electronic procedures. In this context, citizens demand modernisation of electoral procedures in order to increase the efficiency and transparency of elections.

Private organisations like large companies, trade unions, sports clubs and associations have electoral processes to elect their governing bodies.

Introduction

The central objective of the CORES project is to encourage the sharing of metadata semantics. CORES will address the need to reach consensus on a data model for declaring semantics of metadata terms in a machine-readable way. Consensus on the ground-rules for declaring standard definitions of terms, as well as local usage and adaptations, will enable the diversity of existing standards to "play together" in an integrated, machine-understandable Semantic Web environment.

Introduction

VoiceXML is a standardisation effort for telephony based IVR (interactive voice repsonse) applications, such as voice mailboxes, ticket reservation, car sharing, chat or payment services, etc.

PublicVoiceXML is both the name of a software package and the name of a trial project with European community radios, who will be evaluating VoiceXML technology through their umbrella organisation AMARC.

The GeneSyS (Generic Systems Supervision) mission statement is:

To enhance distributed systems and applications with a generic and standardised supervision solution and nurture its practical implementation and multi-sector exploitation as a key enabler for the competitiveness of European research and industry.

The top-level objectives of the GeneSyS project are:

Introduction

EUTIST-AMI, funded by European Union, is constituted by 13 application projects that are testing the benefits and the potential of agent and middleware technologies applied in real industrial environments. To sustain competition and face the global market challenge, the power of these technologies must be harnessed.
