IMUST READ - NFRAWEBS, a European project involving leading authorities on Semantic Web Technologies to develop an application-oriented software toolset for creating, maintaining and executing WSMO-based Semantic Web Services (SWS) within their whole life cycle. This next generation of tools and systems enable software and service providers to build open and extensible development platforms for web service applications. These services will run on Semantic Web initiatives and W3C submissions, such as BPEL4WS, WSMO, WSMX, WSML, SPARQL, RDF, etc. In particular, they will be compliant with WSMO (Web Services Modelling Ontology).
A nice review but maybe obsolete by now (run 2002-2005) One of the biggest problems we nowadays face in the information society is information overload. The Semantic Web aims to overcome this problem by adding meaning to the Web, which can be exploited by software agents to whom people can delegate tasks. The aim of Esperonto is to bridge the gap between the actual World Wide Web and the Semantic Web by providing a service to "upgrade" existing content to Semantic Web content. Ontologies play a key role in this effort, aiming at unifying, bridging and integrating multiple heterogeneous, international and multilingual digital content.
The Adaptive Services Grid (ASG) approach for semantic service provisioning is a solution to implement agility and adaptiveness promised by Service-oriented Architectures. Based on available standards, a solution for the complete service provisioning lifecycle has been built. A key concept of this solution is the usage of semantic information about services to automatically plan, enact, and monitor service compositions to fulfil user requests.

The European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies supports and promotes evidence-based health policy-making through comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the dynamics of health care systems in Europe. The Observatory is a partnership between the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe, the Governments of Belgium, Finland, Norway, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden, the Veneto Region of Italy, the European Investment Bank, the World Bank, the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). The Observatory is composed of a Steering Committee, core management team, research policy group and staff. The Observatory’s Secretariat is based in Brussels and has offices in London and Berlin.
Access for all to the Information Society is a key goal for the European Union. With increasing use of the World Wide Web – in particular for government information and services, it is essential to secure access for all citizens. Yet many people - especially those with a disability – meet barriers. Benchmarking can locate potential barriers and fuel the development towards Internet access for all. The European Internet Accessibility Observatory (EIAO) project has established a large scale accessibility benchmarking service. The distributed system consisting of 9 servers can process 100 web sites per day according to 26 of the automatable tests specified in Unified Web Evaluation Methodology (UWEM 1.2).
