abstract

  • It is evident that companies and research centres can find a myriad of instruments to fund their R&D (Research & Development) activities. Due to the dynamics of the information management in these
    circumstances there is a need for intermediary businesses intervention.
    Consequently, intermediary companies are thus involved in a complex
    process that needs to be managed and controlled. Within this scenario an
    Information Technology (IT) platform, named RDi-Advise, was developed
    by EgeoIT using semantic technologies to support R&D process
    decisions. This case analysis describes the development and
    implementation of the platform including the lessons learned during the
    activity period.
