Objective
QUESTION-HOW is aimed at providing the environment necessary for European industry to make the correct mission critical decisions of quality with regard to emerging Web specifications from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The major activities planned are:
(1) Tools to improve the take-up of these specifications;
(2) Better coverage of Europe by the W3C Offices, (3) Dissemination events to ensure European industry is aware of the major changes taking place on the Web. Making best use of such specifications is not straight forward.
Objectives:
The following major activities are necessary :
- Aid the development of mission critical solutions via a range of tools;
- Improve outreach and communication channels through an enlarged set of European Offices;
- Informing Europe of emerging changes and technologies;
The last providing generic support for the other two.
Work description:
The project will be divided into the following Workpackages :
WP1: Companies need to be aware of the changes appearing on the Web and how they can ensure that their businesses evolve in line with the web's evolution thereby future-proofing their web investments. This workpackage will help companies develop mission critical solutions of quality in a complex and rapidly changing environment;
WP2: Provide additional tools to support the new technologies;
WP3: Extend outreach of the existing W3C Offices: the current set of Offices do not fully cover the European Community. Additional funding would increase the coverage;
WP4: New European Offices: Some important geographic/language areas in Europe are not currently covered by the existing set of Offices. Four new Offices would provide additional coverage for today's' European Union as well as for the candidate states to the Union from Central Europe and the Baltic's, for example;
WP5: Infrastructure for informed decisions: A more proactive role by the Offices with a more sustained and visible involvement. The necessary infrastructure will be generated by the workpackage;
WP6: European events: A programme of events, technical workshops, and participation in existing Web conferences.
Milestones:
The project duration is 24 months. Two major milestones are expected after month 6 and month 15. By month 6, all the initial reviews will be complete and the plan established for the first set of major software deliverables. One new Office will be launched. By month 15, one tour will have completed. Three out of four new offices will have started. The update of existing tools will be completed.
