A Semantic Web Vocabulary Supporting Brainstorming for Research Communities

The e-Brainstorming tools represent plausible solutions to improve the e-research community activities with respect to processes regarding idea generation and idea selection. However, the existing e-Brainstorming systems show methodological and technological limitations. The present work proposes a brainstorming model that aims at overcoming the aforementioned limitations by exploiting Social Web and Semantic Web technologies and practices sustaining on-line social dimension, application interoperability, knowledge representation, knowledge sharing and correlation discovery.
