Implementation of Project Inventory

The inventory of local and regional information projects in Austria, Finland and Sweden has been implemented through the whole project period:

Projects added in LOCREGIS I 1996-1998 600
Projects added between LOCREGIS I and II projects 1998-1999 200
Projects added in LOCREGIS II 1999-2000 1060
Total number of projects 30.9.2000 1860
Added after the project 1.10.2000- 280

Because of the fact that many regions are transregional and some project are funded by several EU funding sources (to have valid analyse results the project was using the concept of logical project), the number of projects by region and EU-programme is totally 2.600 in the target countries.

The inventory in LOCREGIS II was much more decentralised as in LOCREGIS I. New feature in the database was a signature field for the people adding new projects or updating the existing ones. After this information there where 20-25 organisations updating the database more than once. Of course also because of the higher visibility many project leaders adding also self the information of their projects, especially in the candidate states.

 One of tasks of the regional partners was to update the database.

 In Finland and Sweden LOCREGIS inventory was also more or less supported by national organisations or initiatives. For example in Finland the national local and regional information society spearhead project decided to use the same database for their inventory.
