ECONSTRUCT: EXPECTATIONS, SOLUTIONS AND RESULTS

摘要

The IST 10303 "eConstruct" project (e{down}-Commerce/e{down}-Business in the Building and Construction industry: preparing for the new Internet) is now (November 2001) in its second and final year. The objective of eConstruct is to develop, evaluate and demonstrate how the next generation Internet can be used to improve meaningful communications in the European Building and Construction industry, supporting future eCommerce and eBusiness. The paper presents the goals of the project, discusses the chosen solution, evaluates the results obtained so far and recommends directions for further R&D. Though the paper globally presents the results of the project as a whole, typical eCommerce aspects will be dealt with in more detail (other papers describing other eConstruct results in detail have already been published, or will be published shortly).
