Supporting Collaborative Science through a Knowledge and Data Management Portal
William Pike, Ola Ahlqvist, MARK N. GAHEGAN, Sachin Oswal · 2003
This paper discusses a portal used by geoscientists and human-environment relations researchers to capture and share the evolution of concepts and the emergence of agreement through collaboration. A concept graph interface to the portal encodes relationships among people, concepts, data, tools, tasks, times, and places. By linking resources in flexible and reusable structures, we attempt to situate knowledge representation in the context of scientific practice.
