Research Portal Product-Service-Systems
The internet portal “Research Portal Product-Service-Systems” is a database for methods and instruments for the creation of product-service-bundles:
- It supports the structured description of artifacts based on criteria and free text. It supports linking within the artifacts and to external resources.
- Researchers and practitioners are able to search and identify relevant research from the area.
- The collected data can be analyzed using quantitative analysis. With the help of analysis
- research gaps are identified or it can be shown that there are several solutions that may be consolidated.
The research portal used for this work is technically based on yourResearchPortal.com (yRP), a generator for research portals. yRP is a technical infrastructure for reducing obstacles for creating new research portals and the effort required for maintaining them. The platform fosters the use of research portals and supports knowledge sharing within the scientific community. Experts of any scientific discipline shall be able to create a research portal on their topic without needing detailed technical knowledge on programming or web technologies. Especially in disciplines not close to IT, missing competencies for creating sophisticated internet portals are a major obstacle. Using infrastructure like yRP makes knowledge management accessible to every discipline. On the other hand each portal is customizable and fits to the specific topic of the research area. Applications of yRP in different scenarios and use cases, like hybrid value creation, business intelligence, or eGovernment, have demonstrated that the idea of topic specific customizing of a research portal can be successfully applied.
For the extension of the research portal we need your help:
