Purpose and goal
The project has led to a detailed description of systems to be built as well as identified actors that can expand the consortium, including needs owners.
Expected results and effects
The project has led to defining the system to be built to look up facts in relation to Swedish media. This has also led to the recruitment of another player and ongoing discussions to expand the consortium where larger media houses can be included.
Planned approach and implementation
The project participants have had several Skype meetings as well as two workshops in Stockholm and Lund where they discussed in detail what the system should deliver and what problems to solve. In addition to technical discussions, we have also contacted and met with various actors to expand the consortium, in particular media houses but also IT suppliers.
