This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I research project will study and prototype novel approaches to knowledge management, knowledge dissemination and visualization for science and technology professionals. Working scientists and technologists today have improved search and research capabilities at their disposal, but the ability to record, organize and communicate the results of those capabilities remains ad hoc and difficult. Moreover, discovering new research resources is largely trial-and-error. The project will develop prototype capabilities to accelerate online research and enhance the memory of researchers by capturing online activities, extracting critical linkages, creating visualizations to assist in discovering new research directions, and suggesting novel external resources. In addition, we plan to enhance on-line presentation capabilities to create assistive and findable presentations of research results. The end result will be a comprehensive information dashboard for research professionals which will accelerate research activities and help researchers to more efficiently perform their duties.The research has profound implications for scientific research practice by reducing time-to-market for pharmaceutical and technology companies, accelerating basic research, and enhancing the educational process for working science and technology professionals. Aspects of the proposed research have assistive technology implications and will improve the understanding and use of research results by worldwide audiences. The commercial opportunity for the technology extends to 10.5 million scientists and technologists in the United States. Open application programming interfaces (APIs) will foster community support of the technology by providing a platform for domain-specific enhancements to the core capabilities.

这项小型企业创新研究第一阶段的研究计划，将为科技专业人士研究和设计知识管理、知识传播和可视化的新方法。今天工作的科学家和技术人员已经提高了他们的搜索和研究能力，但是记录、组织和交流这些能力的结果的能力仍然是特别的和困难的。此外，发现新的研究资源在很大程度上是一个反复试验的过程。该项目将开发原型能力，通过捕捉在线活动、提取关键联系、创建可视化以协助发现新的研究方向和建议新的外部资源，来加速在线研究和增强研究人员的记忆。此外，我们计划增强在线演示能力，以创建辅助和可查找的研究结果演示。最终的结果将是为研究专业人员提供一个全面的信息仪表板，这将加速研究活动并帮助研究人员更有效地履行他们的职责。该研究通过缩短制药和技术公司的上市时间、加速基础研究和加强在职科技专业人员的教育过程，对科学研究实践具有深远的影响。拟议研究的某些方面涉及辅助技术，并将提高全世界受众对研究成果的理解和使用。这项技术的商业机会将惠及美国1050万名科学家和技术人员。开放应用程序编程接口（api）将通过为特定于领域的核心功能增强提供平台来促进社区对该技术的支持。
