My name is Luis Mauricio Pineda, the C-E-O. of Weinmannia, a private consultancy company which works in the forestry sector in Latin AMerica. Because information is very important I had been workin for many years developing a information system to manage teak information. Recenthly I finalized my thesis and the folowing is an abstract of it. ¨We present a proposal for the creation of an international system of compilation, storage, processing, and distribution of information for the species Tectona grandis, which is available in a web site designed for that purpose. We defined the fundamental principles under which the system must operate. It was possible to recover information about the origin of the teak in Costa Rica, and we develop an example of search of information as a model in the use of the software. Furthermore, in order to diminish the digital gap, we press the international cooperation for the maintenance of the system and the exchange of information¨. I hope it helps to demostrate that it is posible to create a system in which all around the table would share information for the best of the end users. regards, Luis Mauricio Pineda www.weinmannia.com
