Abstract

An environmental information system with a distributed database is proposed. In this system, concerned groups manage the servers offering environmental product information relevant to their activities. All of the servers are connected in a network. The collection of the distributed environmental product information is automated by a searching software program. An inverse manufacturing environmental product information system and an LCA system called FusionNet LCA are developed as examples of environment information systems with a distributed database. The development of these systems demonstrates that it is in fact possible to develop an environmental information system with a distributed database
