Approach
* Intro to WoN
* Intro to iCargo - as far as we understand it
Findings
Through our iterative approach, findings are
Requirements found in interviews
* Especially when freight is high-volume or high-value, established contacts between consignor and transporter are highly valued. Trusting new players is difficult (transportation of agricultural goods)
* Finding transportation partners, agreeing on framework contracts, and then executing many transports with easily calculated rates and quick planning (schrott24.de)
Additional Requirements for Transportation
* Service descriptions
* Information requirements
* Reputation management: not necessarily only for transportation, but it seems to be required here, too
* Payment integration
Service descriptions
Follow the WoN approach: matching, then comms channel. Difference: Service offer is general, demand is concrete. Allow service offering to make a concrete offer for a given demand.
Consequence: new ways to control matching
Information Requirements
A participant can define information requirements. When a connection is made, the information requirements are automatically checked and missing information is identified. User interfaces can use this information to generate interface components (e.g., forms) to elicit the missing information. User agents may be able to fill in missing information automatically from personal data stores.
Limitations
Preliminary findings. Design

Reference management systems such as Zotero provide options for exporting bibliographies as BibTeX files. BibTex is a bibliographic tool that is used with LaTeX to help organize the user’s references and create a bibliography. This template contains an example of such a file, sample.bib, which can be replaced with your own.
