Abstract

The impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) has gained its prominence in several areas such as business and education. More concretely, during the last years it has been developed several tools and platforms so as to enrich the way of learning. Projects as NETCOIL and ECOSPACE study the way of establishing interoperation between different tools. More concretely, this paper analyzes the work done in NETCOIL and how it should be improved using Web services standards, taken from the business area. This paper also deals with the design of a generic interoperable collaborative platform, that can be useful also in business area, such as the ECOSPACE project, or in learning area.
