Abstract
Main Objectives of the DOLPHIN project
The objectives of the project are to analyse and to consolidate and harmonise the directions and results of the projects in Domain V; to promote co-operation amongst IS&N projects; to facilitate interactions between the projects and external fora and standards groups; to obtain requirements and direction from the external stakeholders related to Domain V, specifically including the setting up of an Expert Panel; and to disseminate and promote the results from Domain V to the general community, including in Central and Eastern Europe.
