COSPA is divided into 8 workpackages, 14 official deliverables (
)
and 20 unofficial deliverables (
).

WP1 Management of the Consortium
-
This work package concerns the entire project coordination and management. The objectives are to carry out the project on time and on budget, to ensure quality and to maintain the oversight over the other work packages.
WP2 Collection of requirements for OS applications and ODS in the PAs and creation of a catalogue of appropriate OS/ODS solutions
- This work package intends to gather and analyse user requirements from the partner PAs, in order to devise possible OS/ODS solutions. We also want to identify legacy database applications as reference for elaboration in the subsequent work packages (WP4 and WP5).
|
Full Title: Catalogue of available Open Source tools for the PA In short: In general WP2 primarily aims to understand
what OS tools are currently utilized in PAs, and to which ODS the
currently produced data is compliant.
|
|
Full Title: Catalogue of available Open Data Standards for the PA In short: This deliverable contains information
about the Open Data Standards that are actually in regular use within
Public Administrations, the administrative requirements needed to
use it,
|
|
Full Title: Catalogue of Legacy Databases In short: A catalogue of legacy databases, which illustrates the presence and nature of legacy databases in PAs. We define a legacy database as being a database which is hard or impossible to migrate or modify.
|
|
Full Title: Analysis of Requirements for OS/ODS Applications in the Public Administration In short: Work Package 2 (WP2) primarily aims to understand what Open Source tools are currently utilised in PAs, and to which Open Data Standards the data currently produced is compliant. This work package also gathers and analyses user requirements from partner PAs for use in later Wps. Deliverable D2.4/2.5 describes the data obtained for the requirements of PAs for desktop software applications and data standards. The processes used for capturing this information are outlined. This information will be used in later deliverables to assess whether the use of Open Source Software and Open Data Standards is a viable possibility. The data could also be used, in other contexts, such as improving administrative business processes, existing software applications, or designing new ones.

|
Full Title: Prioritisation of requirements for OS and ODS In short: WP2 primarily aims to understand what
OS tools are currently utilized |
D2.1 - Catalogue of OSS
WP3 Define a framework for evaluation of returns/losses of the transition to ODS/OS
-
This work package aims at developing a framework for identifying possible returns or losses of a transition to ODS or OS software as well as at identifying when such introduction creates significant returns. That should help European PAs in a wise and non-disruptive adoption of ODS and OS.
|
Full Title: Framework for evaluating returns/losses of the transition to ODS/OS, including the key criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the transition to OS/ODS In short: The defined framework should help to identify possible returns or losses of a transition to ODS or OS software as well as to identify when such introduction creates significant returns. It should help at creating an infrastructure supporting European PAs in a wise and non-disruptive adoption of ODS and OS. |
WP4 Identification of target OS applications to use in the partner PAs, their customization to fit the ODS, with specific attention to the use of proprietary tools by other applications still in use in the PAs
-
On the basis of the previously collected requirements, in this work package we plan to identify the target OS application to use with reference to the target ODS (WP5) and to define a deployment process for the partner PAs.
|
Full Title: Identification of the training and administrative support needs and issues for the adoption of the identified OS applications and environments In short: Deliverable 4.1 contains details of the OS applications and environments that may be suitable for use within the PAs, along with the corresponding training and administrative needs. It is based on information provided by the partners of the COSPA project in WP 2.
|
|
Full Title: Experience report on the implementation of OS applications in the partner PAs In short: Deliverable D4.3 is a collection of reports provided by the partners PAs on their current use of OSS.
|
WP5 Definition of a target ODS to use in the project; development of bridges from existing documents to ODS, also using existing OS tools
-
The main output of this work package is the identification of the target ODS, which fulfil the partner PAs' requirements from WP2. Interoperability issues are addressed by means of the specialised tools introduced in WP4.
|
Full Title: Definition of the target ODS In short: The deliverable 5.1 describes the requirements to a target Open Data Standard and the methodology of how it can be selected from a list of competing Open Data Standards. This method enables public administrations to define their Open Data Standard for a certain type of application (i.e. word-processing, spreadsheet, Email) based on collected requirements for that standard.
|
|
Full Title: Database Migration In short: D5.2 focuses on the problems of database migration. Bridging and migration tools are presented. |
WP6 Run pilot introductions of tools and data standards in the partner PAs and evaluation of costs/benefits of the transition, feeding it back to the related workpackages
-
The objective here is to run experiments on the introduction of OS/ODS in the partner PAs, and to benchmark the effectiveness of the deployed OS solutions through a statistical and cost/benefit analysis, also using the framework developed in WP3.
WP7 Creation of a knowledge base for OS/ODS for personal productivity for European PAs and businesses
- This work package aims to document and pool knowledge acquired in the past work packages, in particular those on user requirements analysis (WP2), the deployment phases (WP4, WP5 and WP6), and the benchmark study (WP3). The knowledge base will be placed on the Internet and made freely accessible.
 |
D7.1 - Web accessible knowledge base
WP8 Exploitation and Dissemination
-
Knowledge base and series of workshops at regional and European level, with the aim of stimulate: exchange and sharing of knowledge among the partners of the Consortium, public and business' awareness on the project and on OS and ODS in general. Exploitation aims at creating a sustainable market for offering OSS-based services to Public Administrations.
