Presumably this allows Scientists to make notes and record thoughts in a way that it supports important scientific constructs
At its simplest this is an authoring tool like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or Framemaker
  • These will improve and support standards such as MathML (openMath) with better WYSIWYG authoring
One useful utility would be a whiteboard that supported scientific notes using ScienceML
Such a collaborative whiteboard (implemented in Tango for instance) would be useful in research and teaching
  • Use commercial authoring tool and WebEQ or equivalent to render
