This article will focus on the European Internet Accessibility Observatory Project (EIAO) which began in September 2004 and is being undertaken in co-operation and partnership with industry and service providers and brings together the following institutions from 6 countries across Europe:
We proudly announce the re-launch of the Osor.eu communities section, complete with Web 2.0 tools! Users interested in open source can start a new community section. The focus of such a section may be their particular field of expertise, a country or a certain set of open source applications. Such specialised sections should help public administrations to share expertise and experiences. A community page could also become a hub for developers and help to improve existing open source applications.
The first part of the paper provides a brief description of the Language Observatory Project (LOP) and highlights the major technical difficulties to be challenged. The latter part gives how we responded to these difficulties by adopting UbiCrawler as a data collecting engine for the project. An interactive collaboration between the two groups is producing quite satisfactory results.

one of the world’s leading independent organizations dedicated to defending and protecting human rights. By focusing international attention where human rights are violated, we give voice to the oppressed and hold oppressors accountable for their crimes. Our rigorous, objective investigations and strategic, targeted advocacy build intense pressure for action and raise the cost of human rights abuse. For 30 years, Human Rights Watch has worked tenaciously to lay the legal and moral groundwork for deep-rooted change and has fought to bring greater justice and security to people around the world.
Two weeks before the workshop, the network has overcome the hundred of registrations. The results of the second analysis of the survey show the growing interest of the practitioners in the community and give us new hints on the features and priorities of the observatories and monitoring organisations
Στα πλαίσια του Πόλου Καινοτομίας Δυτικής Μακεδονίας η δημιουργία του Συστήματος Τεχνολογικής Παρακολούθησης και Ανίχνευσης Τεχνολογιών (Technology Watch) αποτελεί ένα ολοκληρωμένο εργαλείο γνώσης που στοχεύει στην παρακολούθηση, καταγραφή και ταξινόμηση εξειδικευμένης επιστημονικής, επιχειρηματικής και γενικότερης πληροφόρησης, σχετικής με τον τομέα της ενέργειας. Βασικός άξονας του παρατηρητηρίου είναι η διάχυσή της γνώσης και των πληροφοριών σε θέματα σχετικά με την ενέργεια, για την υποβοήθηση της ακαδημαϊκής κοινότητας, του περιφερειακού συντονισμού που σχετίζεται με τη λήψη αποφάσεων για την ενεργειακή πολιτική καθώς και του επιχειρηματικού ιστού, έτσι ώστε να αντιμετωπιστούν οι προκλήσεις που δημιουργούν οι παγκόσμιες τεχνολογικές εξελίξεις.
