The motive of this project is to transpose the laws and guidelines for establishing a public access on environmental issues by building an internet portal for environment and health with the name “Umweltdaten online” (UDO) on: www.umweltdaten-online.de.

UDO is designed to handle interactive communications between users. This includes an intuitional and a target group orientated user interface (front-end and back-end) for different user groups. The construction is based on common development rules for EIS and software development guides.
