Non-functional requirements I
• Open standards• Storage of information in a database• Manage files• Browser-based interaction
• Management of permissions: – Use Eionet LDAP, with Plone authentication functionality – Set permissions up so that country experts can only see what is
relevant for their own country. That must also apply to attachments.
• Compatible with all main platforms and browsers• Look: EEA graphical identity
Handled by Plone
