AquaPort Web Technology and Tools - The Platform
Aquaport has developed a powerful suite of web tools to enable knowledge connections and opening up knowledge flows. 
These features will place AquaPort.ca on the leading edge of “social computing” (Web 2.0) and will fuel the development of AquaPort.ca as the “one place to go” for industry information.
Vertical search tools: An aquaculture-specific “vertical search” bilingual solution capable of crawling and indexing meta-data contained in a local database, and files stored both on the AquaPort.ca web server and third-party web servers.
Faceted navigation tools: A search engine that can utilize existing metadata, as well as extract and create meaningful metadata from indexed content for use in the creation of an intuitive navigation interface.
Discovery and retrieval tools: A “collaborative tagging” or “social bookmarking” solution that will allow users to tag resources and store “bookmarks” on the site for retrieval and sharing with other users.
Feedback / commenting tools: A mechanism to allow users to evaluate and comment on resources available via the platform.
Push / alert tools: To allow users to choose topic themes for knowledge to be pushed to them through customized alerts such as email or RSS feeds.
Contribution and collaboration tools: To enable you to contribute knowledge to the platform as well as use it - AquaPort.ca will be a read / write platform.
Personalization and customization tools: To allow users in different industry sectors, different regions, and distinct organizations to customize the interface and define their own information views.
Visualization tools, maps and mashups: The capability for the visual display of information, via maps or other interfaces.
