Technical Details

The need for coastal information and data is already apparent. How has the EUCC-Germany considered this need, and what new approaches are the EUCC-Germany implementing? · Approach 1: Individual Databanks Organisations, projects, and networks develop their own databanks and connect them to our databank servers.
· Approach 1: Individual Databanks Organisations, projects, and networks develop their own databanks and connect them to our databank servers. Pros: seamless integration in the website total control over contents Allows accomodation of special requirements Cons: development and maintenance costs reduced amount of information, due to a reduced number of users maintenance after the project's completion is often unsure data providers must develop and provide their own databases in order for us to distribute their information Approach 2: Linking to a Central Database
Organisations, projects, and netzwerke connect to a central databank Pros: centralized development and maintenance a larger number of users enables more information exchange and dissemination one-time central data entry for data providers Cons: connection to a central databank interface through external links, no integration in your own websites less integration leads to meager acceptance by users accomodating special requirements or adding special functionality is practically impossible. Our Approach: The EUCC Coastal Databanks
Organisations, projects, and networks integrate the coastal databank interface into their websites Pros: central development and maintenance permanent support from EUCC-Germany no development or maintenance costs for cooperations partners seamless integration in nahtlose Integration in corresponding partner websites cooperaiton partners have total control over the content that is shown on their websites all partners benefit automatically from further development of the databanks from the beginning a large amount of current information is accessible a large number of users enable a large amount of information exchange one single, centralized input interface for data providers Options for Cooperation Partners Cooperation partners can decide, which databanks thez want to present to their users. Should they decide that they do not need particular databanks, for example the Projects database, they can easily only connect to the conference and workshop databses. All partners can also name multiple content managers, who choose which pieces of content are visible or hidden using a intuitive, web-based user interface. From a technical standpoint, there are multiple solutions on how to integrate our coastal databanks in your existing website. A look at our list of current partners can give you a quick orientation at what is possible. Normally, EUCC-Germany will design a special layout based on the existing website of our customers.
