Abstract
The GRID e-workspace provides a web-based integrated and collaborative hardware and software resources for an individual or an enterprise. Concentrates all services in a single domain for all citizens and companies in a specific geographical region in a collaborative working environment where it is possible to produce, post, search and exchange structured information. The GRID e-workspace is defined to have four interconnected aspects (a) digital storage, (b) network traffic, (c) processing power and (d) web services. Implementation issues involve organizational, social, economical and technological aspects. General principles driving our analysis could be summarized in the following: Co-operation culture and technological level characterizing societies under consideration determine: (i) business model (public-private funding mixture) and (ii) technology (centrality of entities).
