| Abstract | The Black Sea Web Project, a joint-project between local partners from the Ukraine, the Russian Federation and Romania and EC-partners from the Netherlands and Denmark, with a focus on strengthening of environmental management for the Black Sea Region. Within the framework of the Project, a Demonstrator for a Black Sea Marine Environmental Management Support System, based on Telematics (Black Sea Web) is developed and evaluated. This Demonstrator might provide a model for future expansion of the system among all countries bounded on the Black Sea. Also it will contribute to the further development of the Black Sea Region state-of-the-art on Informatics and Telematics. The innovative design of the Demonstrator for a Black Sea Web, is that the data source holders have access into each other data and information, on an independent basis. However, the data source holders will keep control of their own data. Within this concept, several databases, which are physically and geographically separated, can be accessed remotely for data retrieval and data transfer from a 'Black Sea Web Interface'. |
