CUSPIS Workplan GSA

A Cultural Heritage Space Management System

The proposed project is planned of a duration of 18 months and activities of the project can be envisaged in three phases:

1. CRITICAL ANALYSIS WORK
2. IMPLEMENTATION WORK
3. RESULTS ANALYSIS WORK

Major work packages will address Analysis of CH Scenario (such as IPR, State-of-Art, Potential Applications), Applications Definition (including Service Models, Value Chain, Business Analysis and Application Requirements), Core Developments (e.g. Service Control Centre, Mobile Terminal Components, Demonstrator Specific Components), working Demonstrators for an operative context and Transfer of Technology & Dissemination (including Evaluation and Assessment, Cost Benefit Analysis, Workshops and Publications, and, finally, Dissemination Activities).

Specifically, the workplan has been broken down into six main Work-packages and several tasks; its general structure and how it will achieve the objectives of the project is explained into the following section.

WP1: Coordination
This work package deals with the project management and coordination, where the quality assurance and user community management activities are also included; The co-ordination activities include all management tasks for the overall project organisation: preparation of the meetings, arrangement of the reports and the deliverables, definition of the Project’s financial aspects etc. Besides, it includes the contract management (contacts with the EC management board, concerning contractual issues, possible changes of partners etc.), the planning and reporting (management control plans), the technical management board activities and all process to correctly handle project activities in time and within budget.

WP2: Analysis of CH Scenario This work package includes all the activities targeted to an analysis of current CH scenario for what concerns: major sector issues and potential benefits from GALILEO, state-of-art technologies and GNSS current applications, current standards, certification and regulatory issues regarding security, and IPR for Cultural Assets; finally, the identification of Operative Demonstrations.

WP3: Applications Definition The objective of this work package is to define a significant set of potential applications respondent to the object of the call, useful for the specific User Community and valuable by a market point of view. To grab this objective the work package has been divided in tasks regarding the study of potential service models, analysis of value chain and business, and the definition of the requirements of the applications selected for the demonstrations.

WP4: Core Developments This work package is targeted to design, develop and test the necessary “core” components to be used in the construction of the Demonstrators; these include server-side components, client-side components and applicative components, but also all the components implementing secondary but non less important characteristics of the system, like: authentication, external data services, asset management system, gis and mapping, web services, digital rights management and others.

WP5: Demonstrators Objective of this work package is to demonstrate the viability of the proposed infrastructure and approaches by means of constructing real demonstrators and several test cases, to involve the user community and to obtain operative results on which, finally, to evaluate and assess the results. This objective will be achieved by developing demonstrators specific components and trough proper assembling of core components, by studying the logic and the scenario for the demonstrators, and by activities of integration with the system, on site installation and training for people involved in the demonstrators.

WP6: Transfer of Technology & Dissemination Last work package of the Workplan is thought to structure and deploy all the activities aiming, on the one hand to disseminate the activities and the results of the project, and on the other hand to deliver the consortium’s exploitation intentions and analytical business planning for the introduction of an entity for service development.
