Aesop project preservation site

This site has been developed to preserve the memories and the results from the EU founded project AESOP. AESOP has been a great project, leading to a big deal of results that are now a common background to many industry and e-gov applications in the fields of identity management and portals. Don't miss this piece of history!

main ideas

Ideas for Aesop came from e-mail discussions and meetings in 2001. Download this PDF file to have a flavour of those discussions, consult the project card as it was on Cordis web site.

people

A group of visionary and pragmatic, dreamers and business oriented guys came together to join the project. See some pictures of the group at work.

Visit reports

One of the methods in use at the beginning of the project was the visit to the user's sites, having discussions with them, and produce "ethnographically informed" reports. See some parts of the reports here.

presentations

The project made a wide use of presentations. See a list of downloadable powerpoint files and make your choice!

The deliverables

And finally the results, we know, they are old now, but some are still valid and visionary as they were at the time.
And, of course, they are free and open source; just quote the source in case you want to cut and paste!
