Epistheme: a scientific knowledge management environment in the SpeCS collaborative framework
Scientific work was known for being solitary work, where human interaction happened only in small groups within a research domain. Nowadays, due to technology improvements, scientific data from different sources are available, communication between researchers is facilitated and scientific information creation and exchange is faster than in the past. To facilitate this exchange, sharing and dissemination of knowledge and its management, we propose a scientific knowledge management environment where researchers may share their data, past experiences, ideas and get all the necessary information to execute their tasks, make decisions, collaborate with one another and disseminate knowledge.
