- To prove the feasibility, applicability and benefits of the WADSIS Concept for other environmental valuable and/or threatened regions in Europe

- Specifically, to develop a successful public-private partnership between public information source holders and private partners to create and market a WADSIS Demonstrator as a combination of a transnational web service for GIS-datasets, managed by public data source holders, and a multi-media CD-ROM atlas, published by private partners, targeted at the educational market and society in general.
