Objective
Theobjectives of the IES Support Services project were to:
Identify and implement services complementary to or in support of present and future IES services.
Monitor user needs in relation to their information exchange requirements in cooperative R&D community programmes and to propose ways in which these can be satisfied through existing or new IES services.
Edit, publish and distribute a publication reporting on IES projects and developments as well as other major European-wide activities related to information exchange through telecommunication networks.
The objectives of the information exchange system (IES) support services project were to: identify and implement services complementary to or in support of present and future IES services, to monitor user needs in relation to their information exchange requirements in cooperative research and development community programmes and to propose ways in which these can be satisfied through existing or new IES services and to edit, publish and distribute a publication reporting on IES projects and developments as well as other major European wide activities related to information exchange through telecommunication networks.
An online machine translation pilot service called COTEL was demonstrated.
A set of online databases, IES data collection was made available through the European Commission Host Organization (ECHO) in Luxembourg (this service will be transferred to CORDIS).
The first edition of Information Technology (IT) Atlas, a reference publication on public IT research and development activities in Europe was sponsored.
The pilot implementation of the PROTEAS database was launched.
The bimonthly IES News was published.
News via EuroKom electronic conferences was provided on topics such as European information technology standards news, news from the European institutions related to IT, and news on IT technological developments.
The startup phase of preliminary the Community research and development information service (CORDIS) as part of the VALUE programme within the Community research and development FRAMEWORK programme.
The project has been established to provide the European academic, industrial and governmental research community with a computer networking communications infrastructure based on open systems interconnection (OSI) protocols. The project includes a number of subprojects and the provision of pilot services to the user community. A number of these subprojects and services are now in place and have a direct impact on the working environment of the research community. They bring European wide connectivity in electronic mail, directories and information services, expanding on the services already available at local and national levels. Further subprojects and services are in the process of being established.
Since the contract began the project has:
Tested and demonstrated an online machine translation pilot service called COTEL. This service was offered through a host in Luxembourg and the SYSTRAN programme, which could be accessed through public X.25 networks by any asynchronous telecommunication device. An interface allowing users to submit text files in the source language and receive a raw translation in the target language was developed and provided to interested users. The service was terminated when a commercial operator began to offer a si milar service.
Launched a set of online databases, IES Data Collections, available through the European Commission Host Organisation (ECHO) in Luxembourg (this service will be transferred to CORDIS).
Launched a multilingual telephone service, IES HELP-LINE, providing information and answers to questions on IES services and the IES in general (this service has now stopped).
Sponsored the development of the first edition of Information Technology Atlas, a reference publication on public IT R&D activities in Europe.
Launched the pilot implementation of the PROTEAS database, which contained information on R&D developments and prototypes with potential commercial applications (PROTEAS is now part of the VALUE programme).
Published the bimonthly IES News. As of December 1990, 31 issues had been distributed to a European mailing list in excess of 10 000. From January 1991, IES News was merged with the News Review section of the new XIII Magazine, published by DGXIII.
Provided news via EuroKom electronic conferences on topics such as European information technology (IT) standards news, news from the European institutions related to IT, and news on IT technological developments.
Provided assistance in the start-up phase of preliminary the Community R&D Information Service (CORDIS) as part of the VALUE programme within the Community R&D FRAMEWORK programme.
Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)
CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
