Sustainable management of data driven projects

Sustainable management of data driven projects is vital for the efficiency and success of a project, as well as for the task of knowledge management for the institution or consortium that is working on the project. With partners often being located in separate locations, data is kept redundant, exists in different versions and access is sometimes difficult. With the rise of cloud computing, web-based project management allows to overcome most of these drawbacks. This paper describes the project management framework of the International Traffic Database project, which extends the platform for standardized and geo-referenced traffic data storage, now with the possibility to handle whole project communication and publishing in one place.
