Abstract :
TEMSIS-Transnational Environmental Management Support and Information System, is intended to be a tool for transnational cooperation between the communities in the German-French urban agglomeration, Moselle-Est/Stadtverband Saarbrucken. Its main objective is to integrate existing information platforms of local environmental authorities in Germany and France, to support information exchange and thus strengthen the cooperation which is necessary to solve common problems. An important aspect is to inform the public very early if planning activities start, to create intensive discussions among all involved participants and thus to make decisions transparent. The paper sets the focus on the description of the distributed architecture and on the integration issues in the project
