The infrastructure will make possible the dissemination of resources like knowledge, tools or data, their exposure to evaluation in ways that might be unanticipated and hence support the emergence of communities of users around a specific domain. The architecture is designed by analogy with a virtual distributed operating system in which the dynamic resources are presented as files in a structured virtual file system featuring ownership and access permissions. OpenAdap.net will be open to exploitation during Q3 2006 by networked organisations and alliances taking into account the vital issue of Internet security and privacy.enText/Conference Paper1617-5468
