Abstract

Guidelines and standards are gaining increasing importance worldwide. However, their process of development is still in a state of flux. The same stands regarding the means for spreading, retrieving and utilising such knowledge. A portal-based approach is proposed here for supporting all lifecycle phases of guidelines and standards. The proposed approach has significant advantages: (a) it allows contributors from all over the globe to form working groups, share virtual working spaces and, thereby, collaborate for the development of guidelines and standards; (b) it facilitates the rapidly spread and effective use of produced knowledge; and (c) it tackles the demand-supply gap by bridging developers and consumers of knowledge.
