Collaborative platform using knowledge cartography - ToxNuc-E

Abstract

Our research revolves around a platform called ToxNuc-E entirely dedicated to the research activities in studying effects of nuclear toxicology on plants and animals. Here, researchers from different domains interact and exchange information using our platform as the common ground involving new concepts, methods and services to encourage collaborative work for their research activities. The work is based on the co-operation and collaboration between biologist, chemists, sociology specialists and engineers building the platform. In our proposal we attempt to capture the individual information and then share it with every other member of the platform to build a group representation of knowledge, attracting and encouraging people to participate in collaborative tasks.
