Apollon Final Report view on the system mainly targets on service creation and service editing features which are provided by the Administration component. In addition to these service administration features, a user with the Administrator role has amongst others the possibility to maintain service categories, administrate users, and change texts on the user interface.
Apollon Collaboration Platform Architecture The APOLLON platform addresses the issue how partners can be brought together that are offering and seeking any kind of services that are ready for transnational projects regardless at which location they are based. Interestingly, this Marketplace platform concept matches very well the thematic domain network and represents a potentially attractive business model triggering and supporting transnational business opportunities for SMEs in Europe. Based on the results from the eManufacturing experiment, the whole project started to use this in order to ensure sustainability of the APOLLON thematic networks and cross-border services (see below).
6 eParticipation and Social Media Experiment This experiment focused on integrating software components and technologies into eMedia and eParticipation applications. A primary question was to test how integrated eMedia technologies can encourage community activities and eParticipation and what are the advantages, best practices and limitations of cross-border activities within the Living Lab network. The experiment was designed to cluster three running local Living Lab projects in three countries, in which social media are being used to stimulate and facilitate the participation of citizens: the Issy-les-Moulineaux Medialand in France, the Manchester Digital Living Lab in the United Kingdom and the Antwerp Museum of Modern Art in Belgium. In this experiment specific technologies and related services within each Living Lab were selected (3D technologies from French SMEs Navidis and Virdual, social media and community reporters programs from the UK NGO People’s Voice Media, context aware mobile application from the Belgian start-up AirGraffiti now named MuseUS), with the objective to adapt and integrate them with each other.
