Bringing web 2.0 to government research: a case study

DASHlink is a public NASA research collaboration website. Web 2.0 style content generation and social software technologies along with a communitymoderated posting policy make it easier and faster for NASA scientists and research partners to share data and knowledge with each other and the general public. Designing and building an open collaboration website tested the boundaries of government information sharing rules and policies. In this paper we describe our experiences with and solutions to government specific design challenges.
