纳米技术属于将为基础研究、许多工业部门和日常生活带来根本性改变的关键技术。然而，消费者经常错过有关纳米材料的可靠且易于理解的信息。为了实现这种透明度，DaNa 项目收集并评估了最新的科学文献，然后将其发布到网站 www.nanoobjects.info 上。尽管所有发表的文章都是为了满足不同接收群体的需求而设计的，但由于网站的纳米材料特定结构，因此假定对纳米材料有一定的了解。这对感兴趣的外行人来说是一个障碍，他们通常会想到特定的纳米相关应用。这些有关纳米材料的面向应用的事实已经存在于网站上，但分散在不同的文章中。为了克服这个问题，我们首先分析了分散信息的状态，然后评估了显示这些事实的新工具的要求：以同质方式存储提取的知识、可视化选项以及将新数据库集成到现有内容管理系统中。因此，我们扩展了后端，以在名为 DaNaVis 的数据库中捕获更高语义级别的知识。基于这个数据库，我们可以通过交互式可视化组件来提高 DaNa 项目结果的可访问性。
Nanotechnology ranks among the key technologies that will bring fundamental changes to basic research, many industry sectors and daily life. However, consumers often miss reliable and understandable information on nanomaterials. To create this transparency, the DaNa project collects and evaluates the latest scientific literature before publishing these on the website www.nanoobjects.info. Though all published articles are designed to meet the needs of different recipient groups, a certain knowledge about nanomaterials is presumed due to the nanomaterial-specific structuring of the website. This poses a barrier for interested laymen who usually have a particular nano-related application in mind. These application-oriented facts on nanomaterials already exist on the website but are scattered throughout the different articles. To overcome this, we first analyzed the state of the scattered information and then assessed requirements for a new tool displaying these facts: storage of extracted knowledge in a homogenous way, visualization options and integration of the new database into the existing content management system. We therefore extended our backend to capture knowledge on a semantically higher level in a database called DaNaVis. Based on this database we can increase the accessibility of DaNa's project results by means of interactive visualization components.
