The organization and search of knowledge in wide, dispersed but limited environments. Research map on RTD from CDTI

Abstract

The arrangement and the search of knowledge within open environments, dispersed but within limits and whose featured information is somewhat structured and contrasted, does not require large and expensive search engines based on endless index files. New light-weight knowledge management systems based upon the use of folksonomies, whose design also caters for better visualization to the uses, provide fast access to the information and potentially the arrangement of results according to the orientation or point of view required by the user. We at the department for the Promotion of Innovation of CDTI have recently launched a such system, through which to provide electronic information services on all of the public aids aimed at business R&D available from local, autonomous communities and central state governments as well as from the European Union.
