Abstract
Research and development (R&D) is one of the key drivers of innovation within businesses. It constitutes an important investment in a company’s future. Accordingly, R&D management system should be effective and adequate. In this sense, the addition of semantics within this context could be crucial to the success of R&D initiatives. In this paper, a semantic based platform to assist in managing R&D projects is proposed. The platform takes advantage of the semantic information by classifying and annotating both the R&D projects and human resources by means of ontologies. The global behaviour of the system has been illustrated through a use case scenario in the software development domain.
