Interdisciplinary knowledge cohesion through distributed information management systems

Interdisciplinary linkage of information is an emerging topic to create knowledge by collaboration of experts in diverse domains. New insights can be found by using the combined techniques and information when people have the chance to discuss and communicate on a common basis.,This paper describes RMS Cloud, an information management system which allows distributed data sources to be searched using dynamic joins of results from heterogeneous data formats. It is based on the well-known Mediator architecture, but reverses the connection of the data sources to grant data owners full control over the data.,Data owners and learners are enabled to retrieve information and to cross-connect domain-extrinsic knowledge and enhances collaborative learning with a search interface that is intuitive and easy to operate.,This novel architecture is able to connect to differently shaped data sources from interdisciplinary domains into one common retrieval interface.
