Abstract

This experimental and applied research intends to elaborate a framework of a collaborative platform on the Web for sharing and disseminating scientific information. Therefore, notions from the knowledge branch of applied Architecture will be considered by analogy to information and computer sciences, such as: environment, place, access, circulation and permanence. The research will develop a functional experimental prototype applied to two current FAPESP projects, which may later be adapted to the particular experiences of different research groups, having the potential to be freely rehashed for the constitution of other collaborative platforms, establishing a comprehensive contribution in the scope of open access to information. At first, this research deals with the project "Urban Imaginaires: Comparative perspectives, experiments and exchanges between the metropolises of Lyon/Saint-Étienne and São Paulo" - Cooperation Agreements FAPESP/Université de Lyon (2020/06258-3) and the thematic grant "Arquigrafia 4.0 Experience" (2020/05134-9). Both will constitute "case studies" to define a program of requirement regarding the sharing and cooperation of information to the aimed template and the specific Web platforms. In order to fulfill this purpose, this research will be based on a "state of the art" investigation around collaborative and interactive platforms and scientific data repositories, aiming a deep understanding of their characteristics, facilities and collaboration to the dissemination of scientific knowledge, to contribute to the settlement of guidelines for the experimental conception of this virtual environment with a similar finality and friendly interactivity.
