Executive Summary
The SELIS agenda of creating a ‘platform for pan-European logistics applications’ for the use by stakeholders across the supply chain has been a challenging and exciting learning experience for all those involved. The project has brought together transport and logistics specialists, with their industry-based perspectives of supply chain data exchange needs, together with ICT providers to develop and implement potential solutions within the technical framework of the SELIS Community Node (SCN) concept.
At the heart of such an innovative offering is data. Researching how data can be captured from upstream systems, secured in transit, provided voluntarily to central repositories, analysed, transformed or “shared” in some form or another with other parties and authorities has provided interesting use cases to explore.
