Download Revised ICT ERA Taxonomy

ICT ERA Taxonomy - revised and original editions (PDFs - 76, 124 KB)

The initial motivation for ICT ERA taxonomy was for use in the CISTRANA portal, to classify programmes and projects of the ICT area and allow effective search and retrieval. It has also been referred to in other activities for systematic classification of research areas and activities, such as in reports of European and national programmes and initiatives, as well as IST ERA projects.

After examining several taxonomies CISTRANA selected the relevant part of the IRC (Innovation Relay Centre) technology taxonomy, and the complementary taxonomy of sectors of implementation, as a basis, with the numbering adapted. In 2008 this taxonomy was revised to take into consideration terms that are currently used to describe the most recent R&D programmes.
