3. idSpace
Tooling of and training for collaborative,
distributed, product innovation

4. Faced problems
 Tools limited to a single technique
 No tool to support dynamic technique selection
 Lack of distributed and collaborative tools
 Lack of reuse of ideas and knowledge

5. Goals
 The idSpace platform should support a range of
pedagogical strategies and several types of creativity
techniques
 The platform should be build on semantic principles,
specifically Topic Maps, and should incorporate an
ontology which integrates all elements of a creative
process.
 The platform should facilitate distributed collaboration
and support users who are not experts either in the
field of creativity or in the field of semantics.
