Abstract
Over the last decade the speed at which knowledge is generated has greatlyaccelerated which exacerbates the problem of finding the right information at the right time and poses new kinds of challenges to the management of an ever increasingpool of knowledge. Taking up the ideas of the ancient Greek concept of Academia, the"NetAcademy" (http//:www.netacademy.org) is aiming at providing a knowledge medium to aid to the creation, integration, reviewing and dissemination of knowledge in the scientific community, taking full advantage of the unique characteristics of the Internet medium. The vision is to offer an open structure and management concept for virtually every research field in search of an intelligible organization of its contents. The present paper emphasises the general idea of the NetAcademy project and its concept, motivation, and realisation on the basis of available Internet technologies.The main part discusses the two key concepts which differentiate the NetAcademy from more traditional approaches for digital libraries: firstly, the system-immanent vocabulary which allows powerful (semantic as well as syntactic) search mechanisms,and secondly, the modular, template-based design.
