Project description:

The goal of this project is to build up a network infrastructure for schools in Europe. Web resources of European states should be accessible via a site in the European School Network (EUN) to make it easier for students and teachers to access school relevant information. To make multilingual user access to the resources easier, aids for the realization of a multilingual access and reduction of heterogeneity of the sources (multi-language thesaurus, cross-concordances, transfer components) should be made available.
