technical and functional specifications for the development of an e-library,

collection and analysis of domestic tax court decisions of tax tribunals, Administrative and Supreme Court with relevant links to EU legislative acts and case law of CJEU.

Its scope ranges from background research to review existing literature, documentation and tax information systems, to business analysis and definition of requirements, proposing a detailed plan for the development of an e-library, specifically a Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution and concluding by the design and delivery of a comprehensive training program that will secure proper maintenance and update of the e-library.
