Abstract

A problem currently faced is the inability of an organisation to know the competences that the organisation masters, thereby bringing forth greater difficulties to the decision-making process, planning and team formation. In the scientific environment, this problem prejudices the multi-disciplinary research and communities creation. We propose a technique to create/suggest scientific web communities based on scientists' competences, identified using their scientific publications and considering that a possible indication for a person's participation in a community is her/his published knowledge and degree of expertise. The project also proposes an analysis structure providing an evolutionary visualisation of the virtual scientific community knowledge build-up.
