Introduction
| This INFORMATION PROVIDERS GUIDE (IPG) is written for the attention of those who publish - or wish to publish - information material on the Intranet of the European Commission, IntraComm. The purpose of common rules for publishing on the intranet is to ensure the users a minimum set of functionalities as well as a certain common look and feel, which will make it easier for them to navigate the site and to exploit the information made available on it. Therefore - all those publishing on IntraComm must respect the provisions of this guide! Future changes to the IntraComm IPG will be announced on these pages under the menu point «Updates ». |
Relationship with the Europa IPG
This IPG follows the same structure as the Europa IPG. The reasons for that are:
- the Europa IPG is very well structured and there would be no point in duplicating the work already done;
- in practice the same webmasters will often be responsible for implementing the rules of the two IPGs. A common structure will hopefully facilitate their work.
However, the content of this IntraComm IPG is different from that of the Europa IPG. Some chapter headings have been changed, and all chapters have been partly or fully rewritten. The IntraComm IPG gives a larger degree of freedom for the webmasters to implement their own design and to exploit the full technical possibilities of the standard PC configuration at use in the Commission.
