Objective
MIRTO will study how to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of interactions between authorities, enterprises and individual citizens through the development of multimedia telematics applications for advanced information and transaction services. Applications will be packaged using information held by the public authorities and then marketed and delivered via centres serving end-users in the above groups. Besides clarifying legal aspects of information and services brokering in the Member States, MIRTO will also provide an operational model for companies working in this area.
The aim of the project MIRTO is to define and experiment a new way of interaction between Public Administrations, Citizens, SMEs and Professionals of European metropolitan areas. The objective will be reached through the development , evaluation, test, and pilot of multimedia telematics applications for the delivery of added-value information and transactional services, and the setting-up of demonstrators of these applications in four experimental sites: Brussels, Madrid, Marseille, Rome.
The services will be packaged using information taken from the information processing systems of the Public Authority Bodies (the Content Providers), while packaging, marketing, and delivery of the services will be handled by Service Centres that may be run by Information and Services Brokering Companies, created using both public and private capital, or by the local administrations themselves. The Users of the Service Centres will be end-users, i.e. Citizens and SMEs, the Content Providers, and Value-Added Information and Services Resellers.
MIRTO will experiment, evaluate test, and pilot interconnection among SC's and Content Providers both at a regional and national level through metropolitan and national communication links. Broadband communication between the experimental sites will be used to test transborder access to common interest services across Europe.
The project will clarify the legal issues that regulate the establishment, nature and market role of Information and Services Brokering Companies, with reference to specific national situations; will perform a comprehensive survey of the public information sources in the districts and countries of the four experimental sites; will define the organisational model and exploitation plan of the Information and Services Brokering Company. The possible problems related to regulations, information property rights, and management criteria will be identified and solved in advance, thus opening the way to the exploitation of the project results.
The project is being presented by a consortium of private companies with the active participation of public administrations.
