Obiettivo The overall goal of the WIRE project is to make it possible for organisations to deploy Secure Enterprise Webs.Today, many organisations have set up Web servers for non strategic IT applications to deliver public information to the market at a low cost compared to advertisement in other media. The benefits for the organisation are immediate. In summary, this current WEB technology is successful when data is public (access control is not required), small (less than thousands of pages) and simple (text, numbers, built-in .gif images).These conditions are too restrictive for professional applications. Commercial transactions require strong support for user authentication and access control. Organisations such as FIZ need to set up large scale Web servers with gigabytes of information and fast response time for the hundreds of concurrent users (customers, authors, administrators, etc.). Industrial partners such as Zanussi are concerned with groupware and multimedia. Many other organisations are concerned with making information accessible anywhere on the Intranet, however within the corporate security policies and adequate access control to documents.The WIRE project addresses these industry requirements as follows:- Security: the existing WebDCE server will be enhanced to support single mutual authentication corporate wide, fine grain authorisation and encryption to enterprise hypertext documents, transparent location of service, associated with low cost administration.- Large scale data management: Based on this WebDCE secured framework, WIRE will enable users to benefit from DBMS services: reliability, availability, disk management, database administration, declarative query language. In WIRE, a special effort will concern WEB query language facilities based on the current OQL standard query language with extension towards text retrieval features.- Groupware: A framework will be developed for collaborative authoring and annotations of documents through electronic mail. We will base our work on the Symposia authoring software developed under Commission sponsorship in project WEDI W100. The project will extend it to support collaborative authoring, manipulation of large technical documents and access to full SGML documents- Multimedia: For multimedia access and visualisation, the project will provide encapsulation of existing multimedia data to become accessible from the Web, mechanisms to automatically create hyperlinks in multimedia data and new visualisation tools.In order to refine product requirements, three end user organisations (ITU, FIZ, Zanussi) are associated in the project with the development of the major technology components by three ISV's (AIS, Grif, O2), who will in turn incorporate advanced results from two research institutes (INRIA, Fraunhofer IGD).Leveraging the popularity of the Web, in combination with technologies which satisfy the business requirements of large companies, will create an enlarged market for the technologies to be developed. The services developed in the project will be productised as separate, independent, but interoperable components. OSF will offer a source license for the secure web service infrastructure and the three ISV's will develop software products for the services layered over the infrastructure. The end-users involved in the project will develop mission critical applications using those components.For dissemination the plan includes three axis: first, all partners will place information about the project on their web servers, second we will distribute binaries of the project on Internet, and third, we will disseminate results of the project in standard organisation such as the OpenGroup, ODMG, OMG.http://www.osf.org/~vania Campo scientifico natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwarenatural sciencescomputer and information sciencescomputer securityaccess controlnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesinternetnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdatabasesagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculturegrains and oilseeds Programma(i) FP4-ESPRIT 4 - Specific research and technological development programme in the field of information technologies, 1994-1998 Argomento(i) 1.18 - Distributed Systems and Database Technology Invito a presentare proposte Data not available Meccanismo di finanziamento CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinatore Open Software Foundation Research Institute Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 2 avenue de Vignate 38610 Gières Francia Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Partecipanti (3) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto Artificial Intelligence Software Italia Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Via Esterle 9 20132 Milano Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Grif Sa Francia Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Bd Vauban 2 78053 St Quentin En Yvelines Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato O2 Technology Francia Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 7 rue du Parc de Clagny 78035 Versailles Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato
