A framework to support scientific knowledge management: a case study in agro-meteorology

摘要

This work presents the development of the AGROMET environment. a platform that supports scientific work in a cooperative way providing the reutilization of data, metadata, models, programs and workflow definitions. To reach this goal this environment is composed of five modules that are responsible for.' i) data integration,' ii) support to the scientific workflows; iii) support to the collaborative decision,' iv) scientific knowledge management, and v) document and content management. To understand the questions involved in the scientific work a study case is accomplished in the Agro-Meteorology area in the Brazilian Agricultural Research Enterprise (Embrapa Solos). With this collaborative platform the access, sharing and consequent innovation of the scientific knowledge will be better disseminated in the environment work.
