| Abstract: |
Information and communication are essential to scientific research. All
academics would like to stay in touch with their worldwide community and therefore have one common starting point for
their field and use it for free. A structured information platform is required where you can retrieve the data in a
particular way, sorted by categories like research institutes, publications, conferences, etc. All useful online
resources are integrated (bottom-up) in this service. PhysNet (http://www.math-net.de/)
serve this need in natural science for years. At the moment interdisciplinary portals like MareNet (a
href="http://www.marenet.de/MareNet/">http://www.marenet.de/MareNet/) and the Telecom Portal (http://userver.ftw.at/~kerstin/telecomportal/) are
being established and trying to solve special problems link common keyword, different classification schemes.
User aspects become more and more important. Documentation about research projects and futherances are requested.
Further efforts will deal with concordance schemata as well as learning material. |
