Ricerc@.it : Sistema informativo su istituzioni, enti e strutture di ricerca in Italia

In the first months of 2003, the Presidency of the National Research Council (CNR) entrusted to the CERIS the realization of an innovative information system concerning Public and Sme's R&D institutions in Italy. The system - at first called Re@Search, then become Ricerc@.it - had to satisfy the information needs regarding research structures, according to the model synthetic but tendentially exhaustive: Who Makes, What, Where? Today, this prototype system still maintains a good informative value, that must be increased, more effectively, on cartographic bases.
