Quality Attributes.

A pilot in the application of health care for local e-Government in the

project. The consortium includes four partners: University of Groningen
(academic-scientific), Cordys (technology provider), EGEM (public
organization – expert in e-government for municipalities) and Project
WZZ (union of municipalities – end user).
