Digital platform

The development of the digital platform will be a software coding activity consisting of developing all functionalities defined previously including user authentication, set-up of the search engine for data accessing, the user interface, etc. The digital platform will allow the search of data such as the European patents (patents of the European Patent Office), Scientific articles in Open Access (i.e. scientific articles accessible free of charge and not property of a publisher) and research. All information will be searchable with advanced semantic search tools, used by users through a simple mask for simple queries or through advanced research. The digital platform will enable users to qualify contents retrieved during their researches and considered relevant for the project purposes, through a set of TAGS/Categories previously defined by the project partners. This will allow the community to build steadily a solid knowledge base of clustered contents really relevant for the community, but also facilitate the users’ research activities. Moreover the digital platform will contain a Document Management System (DMS) to manage documents created by the community members. Queries for documents can be performed by keywords and also with the application of additional filters (advanced search, based on file name, file content or tags assigned to the document, is also possible). It will be possible to filter the results using facets (grouping of the results in dynamic categories), based on the tags assigned to the document and on the document creation date. Maintenance and fine tuning of the digital platform will be performed during the project duration.
