Managing, Communicating and Facilitating Research in a Hypertext University

Abstract

In a University that operates as a hypertext organization, additional work is required and expected to communicate across organizational boundaries. In the area of research, we make this work harder for ourselves by fragmenting our research data across university communities. Creating an enterprise record of research activity, and coordinating our research processes around this record, is a serious response to the question of how we can help administrators and academics alike collaborate across complex research structures more effectively.
