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!

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.

free and open source; just quote the source in case you want to cut and
paste!
