GeoShare

GeoShare is divided up into nine work packages.

Work package one is Project Management and Quality Assurance.

Work package two, User Requirements and Service Specification, details and refines user requirements regarding collaboration with the user groups central to the implementation and adoption of the GeoShare services.

Work package three, Specification and Design of GeoShare Tools, will be based on the results of the user requirements analysis and will enable the partners to identify and specify relevant GeoShare tools.

Work package four is the Development of GeoShare Tools and will implement the GeoShare network infrastructure and the individual GeoShare tools according to specifications from work package three.

Work package five, Themes and Application Areas, ensures that the themes of the project are kept at the forefront of the GeoShare project with each of the partners "chairing" a theme based on their regional expertise and priorities.

Work package six, Full Scale Demonstrations, will demonstrate the full potential of user services implemented through work package five.

Work package seven, Dissemination, ensures that GeoShare has a major impact in both the participating regions and beyond.

Work package eight, Sustainability Planning, will prepare activities that ensure post-project continuation of GeoShare.

The final work package will evaluate and verify the results of the project and check these against the original objectives to ensure that project outcomes meet project aims.
