Community Information Grid (CIG) 1.0


The Community Information Grid (CIG) 1.0 is a composition of real-word and cyberworld elements providing the users with fused-data, that is linked geo-spatialy, and easy to access meta-data encoded Information.

A Community Information Grid (CIG), on one hand, is a unique composition of resources, both in the in cyberspace and in reality, which uses the [Resource Definition Framerwork (RDF)[1] , including [XML][2] and Unique Resource Identifier (URI). It is the structure of resources, their nature, and their mode and rules of transformation which form the meta-tagged consensual information which is used during the normal operations of a CIG. On the other hand it is the hardware and connectity used to bring the end-user access to the resources via a number of ways including hardline, GSM and cellular data, WiFi, and WiMax.
