Search 4.0: scientific information search and discovery new dinamics and ways of colaboration amongst researhers

摘要

The scientific community is undergoing one of the most dynamic and demanding times of its existence. Never in its history, the community was so extensive, never published as much as today, never the knowledge life cycle was so short. New data, new interpretations, new theories and new members emerge every day: the number of publications is immense and it is not always clear how to construct a search strategy that proves to be effective and efficient. It is in this context that a new service is being developed aiming to aggregate significant sets of resources and services that until now were dispersed, powering them with innovative features, but above all, promoting a logic of cooperation amongst users of such resources, stimulating a dynamic of "use and add value". Thus, it advanced the term "Search 4.0" for this new paradigm of search, discovery, access, recommendation and sharing of resources, resulting from a natural social dynamic amongst the four key elements - user, resources, semantic mapping of metadata and user's communities. In full interaction enhanced by the system, these four elements shall generate a dynamic self-sustainable social network, not only of human actors but also resources themselves taking the role of actors.
