Software development, status Workpackage 3 D3.1 Functional Specification and DesignThis general document will be supplied by detailed specifications for the more specific MADIERA-related functionality. Refinement of Nesstar WebviewContinuous process Installation of the latest version of Nesstar Server (3.5) Will be the basic version for version 1 of MADIERA, full release planned for month 29. (april/may) Integration of extended thesaurus on Nesstar ServerThe thesaurus support is continuously integrated in the Beta version. The developers are continuing work on the specification and the logical model. D3.2 Building the first version of the portal: MADIERA prototype Completed D3.3 Beta version of the MADIERA infrastructureAs described above there has been some rescheduling and changes in priorities. Two versions were released spring/summer D3.3b MADIERA Publisher Beta VersionReleased june 2004 D3.4 MADIERA Version 1.0Planned release moved from M23 to M30

Plans The main goal for the next period is to release a fully functional version 1.0 of the MADIERA infrastructure. As described above this release is planned for M29/30 April/May There will be carried out further work on the Publisher side. Functionality concerning the thesaurus and the geo-referencing system will be integrated. The more of this functionality that is available in the publisher, the richer the metadata of the published material on the server. D3.4 - MADIERA Version M23 D3.5 - MADIERA Version M36

Dissemination activities Workpackage 7 D7.1 Making a plan for dissemination activitiesCompleted Dissemination activities, especially within CESSDA will be stepped up. It is important to reach out to all CESSDA archives with information about the project. The goal is to recruit data providers to increase the amount of data in the MADIERA portal. MADIERA will be presented broadly at the eScience conference in Manchester in June and at the IASSIST conference in Edinburgh in May. D7.3 - Userguides and training packs for adding specific "knowledge products" - M23 D7.2 - On-going dissemination events – planning

Exploitation Workpackage 8 D8.1 - Draft Technological Implementation Plan The focus in this workpackage is to ensure maximum EU value from the project by ensuring that the results are exploited as widely as possible and that the system is used for data publishing beyond the initial social science archive community.
