Abstract

WEB-based education tools that incorporate static content, video-on-demand, live synchronized video, as well as collaboration research spaces, often present information as isolated and diffuse topics compromising the integral learning and research experience. The Ibero-American Science & Technology Consortium (ISTEC) "ChipsnSalsa" WEB project addresses this problem by integrating content into structured but flexible information maps and contextual databases. It enables students to take advantage of the content, and turns the WEB portal/gateway into a diligent information provider that orders the information optimally for their particular needs. Similarly, it enables researchers to have specific and accurate access to the most relevant information in their research, while establishing knowledge bases, real-time peer review, and repositories for future work and long haul ongoing projects. It also provides them with virtual labs and real-time online publishing. Double indexing with full text index and metadata information, and relating the content in a common structured metadata organization.
