A: "Det digitale byggeri", background and current state


Make a list of the most important references related to the danish project "Det digitale byggeri".

- Background for the project

- Current version of major reports from the sub projects of the digital foundation as well as the four client requirements.

Start from http://www.detdigitalebyggeri.dk/historik List the title, author, publishing year and make a few notes about the main content and conclusions as your own introduction to the programme. Save the document for later use in your project.


B: Meta Sites, find and structure relevant information sources for your project


Assume that you are a future project team making a complete project similar to the semester 6 project.
Search the web for material that can support you in the start-up of your project work. Classify the 'sites' you find regarding what domain they cover, what level of information they contain (superficial - deep) and how complete you believe the information provided is (see example below).
Start to make a reference list of documents relevant for your project.

Save the results in a document which you later will include in your project report and ProjectWeb.


Make a structured list of information sources relevant for the project (make your own categories).
