  2. Szenario 1: AGRIS 2010 • J. is doing a research on Diazinon and chooses one of the retrieved records. • Fulltext and versions of document (found by agent without link)‏ • CV, affiliation and actual contact auf author, the Institutions he worked for, conferences the article was presented (out of triple store created by TR Calais and foaf author file and CIARD directories)‏ • A mini knowledge map about diazinon in the context of, choose it: Plant Protection? Environment? Chemistry? (automatically from Agrovoc conceptserver updated constantly through semantic Mediawiki and users)‏ • List of Researchgroups working on this (from CIARD directories)‏ • Information from companies, which produce the substance (triple store)‏ • Feeds from scientific blogs related to organophosporous pesticides • Then: I should have a drop down with other information that I would might want to see or not

  3. Szenario 2: ICIS (integrated capture information system • Marc in Rome at FAO HQ logs in and wants to work on “Onchorhynchus Mykiss” • The system shows immediately workbenches with active coworkers all over the world • A small domain ontology on On.My. pops up. Clicking different elements of the Ontology context sensitive content pops up from distributed sources within and without the VRE • The Application Ontology asks what Marc is going to do • Writing a report? • Doing statistical forecasts? • Writing a note for a coworker? • Selecting the task calls up the taks workbench with related information

  4. Opportunties • Science can work on a global workbench • Which is linked to a global library • Which is linked to NGOs, Famers... • Communities of practice can collaborate regardless where they are • Feedback mechanisms can be become highly efficient, not only peer to peer

  5. Issues • No CMS, Grid or Cloud delivers agreement on meaning • (how does the computer know that “keizer” is a person/author and “which” “keizer” from the many in holland)‏ • Agreements on Exchange Standards and vocabularies is lagging behind technology • Global Communities of Praxis needed to set benchmarks – CIARD • An enormous lack of IM capacity in institutions
