Web-based knowledge platform with associated long term sustainability

This deliverable includes the design a web-based knowledge portal (D2.2) that will be the main repository of NWFP innovation abstracts. EFI, ISA and CFRI will evaluate and decide on options for better integration of their existing repositories, such as the NWFP COST database managed by CFRI and StarTree products: NWFPs Policy database and Innovation Generator that are co-managed by EFI and Boku University. Options for long term sustainability will be analysed simultaneously. The design will be based on open standards and able to readily connect with EIP. Options will be tested at an ad hoc workshop (M4) that will share and compare approaches from other thematic networks (i.e. AFINET) and other relevant projects, such as VALERIE`s Ask Valerie and OPERA/OPENESS’ OPPLA. The knowledge portal will be implemented and hosted on the project website (Task 4.2).
