Die GSBL-Kommunikationsplattform – ein gemeinsames Portal für Bund und Länder

Abstract

The coordination office of the Joint Substance Data Pool of the German Federal Government and the German Federal States (GSBL) is set up at the Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt, UBA). The coordination office updates the data of the GSBL database on the ORACLE database of the operator's centre twice a year. This set of updated data is the basis for the search databases provided to the users. The search database GSBLintern provides the totale data pool for authorities of the German Federal Government and the German Federal States. The version GSBLpublic holds an excerpt of the complete database, which is freely available to the general public. In this research project a web-based communication platform was conceptualized and developed which supports the production process in the coordination office extensively and acts as a central contact point for the cooperation community for the exchange of information, data and software. The GSBL communication platform provides all partners involved in the production process with a software for production tracing which improves cooperation and protects the quality of the data stream.
