information200

Information200 is a software project and conference series focused on data and information exchange technologies. It was initiated in 1999 as a collaboration between the Netherlands' Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Information Society Technology program of the European Commission.

The project aimed to facilitate the development of interoperable data exchanges across different European countries and industries. It focused on various topics, including data warehousing, business intelligence, enterprise application integration, and XML-based data exchange.

From 2000 to 2005, the Information200 project organized a series of conferences and workshops that brought together business, IT professionals, and researchers to share knowledge and experiences on data exchange and interoperability. The events featured presentations, discussions, and case studies from various domains, such as supply chain management, healthcare, and government services.

One of the key outcomes of the Information200 project was the establishment of the Information200 portal, a platform that provided access to information, tools, and resources related to data exchange and interoperability. The portal offered articles, whitepapers, and guidelines on best practices, as well as a registry of data interchange standards and a repository of sample data exchange scenarios.

The information provided on the platform targeted various stakeholders, including developers, architects, data modelers, and business decision-makers. The goal of the portal was to support the adoption of data exchange standards and interoperable systems, thus improving the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes and public services.

Since its conclusion, the Information200 project has left a lasting impact on the field of data exchange and interoperability, contributing to the development of industry standards and best practices.
