1. AA4 - Content Management Systems in Research Environments Russell Sim

2. 2 Current Tools Latex, Word, Power Point Bibtex, EndNote Isolated Wikis Paper Journals, Weblogs Maple, Matlab, r, SRB ('s' commands),... Most current approaches are individualistic; Easy to lose control of their data.

3. 3 Vision We want a scalable, collaborative approach Content Management Framework  Sharing of documents (exportable via XML), centralised wikis  Sharing of journals  Sharing of tools Indexed though meta-data

4. 4 Acquisition Unify research tools by linking Plone into external systems. Unified user interface Allow peers to easily view/review Use of a strict structure for scalability

5. 5 Access SRB as an institutional repository.  Accessed via Plone Decentralised Authentication  Certificate Authentication Semantic Map of Content  Assist new research at the intersection of fields  fast location of related documents Simple rights management  Standardised licences (Science Commons)

6. 6 Annotation Integration with Annotation System (Developed at UQ) Document comments & Document centric discussions Revision control Extensible Meta-Data

7. 7 Groups involved DART – A social experiment to try and find the best method to use Plone. Earth Sciences – pmd*CRC currently run a Twiki for collaboration between Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Townsville. http://www.pmdcrc.com.au/ Marine Biology – ARC Centre of Excellence in Coral Reef Studies  Townsville, Canberra, Brisbane  e-Research tools  collaboration & data sharing

8. 8 Other Requirements Standard portal for research communities  Simple roll-out  Easy Portal Administration  Bibliographical references from documents  Scientific work flows  Templates and easily creatable structured content types (Meta-data Schemas)  Weblog filtered aggregation through shared topics (categories)
