The European Union-funded Palette project has developed online tools that have led to new approaches to the science of education. “There are many online collaboration tools, but most of them are oriented towards enterprises, not communities,” says Palette coordinator Christine Vanoirbeek. She says the semantic Web plays a key role in the project, as it is more about intelligent Web-searching, which is based on interlinked concepts. One of the objectives of Palette was to get communities of practice to develop their own ontologies. Many of the Palette tools also exploit the advantages of Web 2.0 social networking technologies or the document-searching capabilities of the semantic Web, such as ways to east document sharing across the Internet by eliminating the need to exchange emails or open a series of applications during a collaboration. “The big challenge in the Palette project was to make these tools interoperable, so that the tools could be combined and information reused,” Vanoirbeek says.
