Description/Abstract

The CoAKTinG (Collaborative Advanced Knowledge Technologies in the Grid) project
has developed a set of integrated tools to enhance collaboration between e-Scientists. As one
of three case studies, these tools are being applied within the Combechem e-Science pilot
project. Two levels of integration are being explored: straightforward deployment of generic
CoAKTinG tools, and a “deep” integration between these tools and the Combechem grid. The
deeper integration supports the publication at source research objective of Combechem, in
which a digital record is maintained through the information processing chain that starts in the
laboratory, supporting retrospective use in the e-Science process. In this paper we provide an
overview of the tools and we focus in particular on the adaptation of one of the tools for the
Combechem application.
