IskaWeb: A Web-Based Information System for the Classification of Industrial Wastes

Industrial wastes must be classified at least two times on the way from the owner of the waste to the waste disposal facility in order to ensure that waste handling is in conformity with the law. Wastes classification as dangerous goods is up to now very difficult because they consist of many components with diverse dangerous properties. This paper presents the results of the IskaWeb project; a web-based information system we developed for the classification of waste products using branch specific expert knowledge. IskaWeb consists of many integrated software modules. The Web Interface is a collection of dynamic Hypertext Mark-up Language pages integrated into a rule-based expert system module with the help of Java Servlet technology. Building the information system required knowledge and expertise from several disciplines.
