Welcome at our website!

Wageningen UR Information Management is specialised in applying ICT technology for optimal use of knowledge and information. We apply state of the art technology in Web 2.0 (social web) and Web 3.0 (semantic web) to answer your knowledge-intensive questions.

Examples from our track record

• How do I organise knowledge sharing in our R&D department?

For TI Food and Nutrition, we have developed the research management system Tiffany, that supports food researchers in sharing their results and their data sets.

• There must be some information on this subject available. But which knowledge fits my question best?

Within the project Alternatives for Animal Proteins we are creating a web application that provides information on the domain of meat alternatives in an easy and dedicated way. Target audiences are SMEs, the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, and the members of the project team.

• Can I automate this knowledge-intensive process?

For a consortium of plant breeders and seed technology companies, we are developing an automated seedling inspection system based on the quality assessment process of the experts.

• Who are the experts on this specific subject?

For Food & Nutrition Delta we are developing the thesaurus and database structure that is the fundament of the gateway2food website. Companies can use this website to advertise their own experts, knowledge and know-how, and can find the experts and expertise of others.

Your own knowledge

The researchers and advisors of Information Management can assist you in answering questions about information, knowledge and data management. We advise, we build applications, we create thesauri, sometimes together with ICT companies, other research companies or consultants. Our strength is in the modelling of knowledge-intensive processes and the development of corresponding applications. We take both the social side and the technical side into account.
