Germany’s science community will get internet-based tools that should change the way its scientists communicate and publish their outputs to the world or more precisely to the Internet. It intends to develop an all (meaning modes of communicating and disseminating) encompassing platform that - attention - could lock-in scientists if they don’t implement the possible integration and syndication of information that resides outside tha platform. The need to use standards that are already available or devlop new ones.
The German Research Ministry (BMBF) assigned a project to the FIZ Karsruhe and the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (MPG) that focuses on scientfic collaboration, communication, and publishing. The final product will be adaptable and available (maybe as ASP) to other institutions as well. The project is called eSciDoc. It will run til the end of July 2009 and has a budget of 6,1 Mio Euros.
