The LINK ALL Project is funded under the @lis Programme supported by the EC-EuropeAid Co-operation Office. It aims to assist in the uptake of innovative IT practices, to support collaboration, promote exchange of experience, transfer of know-how and improve related skills in three (3) targeted sectors - CRAFTS, ECO-AGRO TOURISM and CULTURE. The LINK ALL platform to be created will include tailored and integrated, state-of-the-art IT tools to provide a range of key e-inclusion facilities strengthening the integration of local development activities. Five (5) networked demonstrators will be deployed in selected areas (Brazil, Uruguay, Argentine-Chile, Colombia, and Costa-Rica). Communication facilities including satellite coverage and wireless applications will be provided. Training activities will be implemented and a coherent business framework will be elaborated. The main INCO role is concerned with the Link-All system integration. This task consist in taking all the customized applications / components from the IT partners to integrate them into a coherent LINK ALL platform by implementing appropriate middleware solutions, using, whenever possible, asynchronous capabilities, and relying on Enhanced Web Services support, as the basis for global service integration.
