Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the Daedalus Project, a Pilot Project under the EC Eumedis Programme whose main objective is to enhance the development of the countries in the Mediterranean area by setting up a new e-business model in which the cultural patrimony of each specific community will be promoted by a centralized structure and integrated with all the tourist services available. The project is in progress: the system architecture, content organization and business model are fully defined and are here described, whilst the Daedalus centralized structure will be in operation by June 2006.
