The ALISS project

The ALISS project is building infrastructure that allows others to provide better community information. Having developed the ALISS Engine as an open source platform focussing on health information, we are keen to explore with others how it can be used to improve and create local information services in other settings.  This will become particularly relevant in later stages of development of the Walk-About app.  As well as the Engine technology, ALISS develops community engagement and asset mapping processes – the project benefits greatly from participating in new projects that not only demonstrate their use but also collect local data that we can then share widely to the benefit of communities.
