Tri' Viet's database would contain knowledge in many subject
matters, ranging from agriculture to biotechnology, from fishery
management to software development, advanced technologies, etc.
Access to this database is free.
The web-based knowledge center has four main features:
Knowledge Database
- A collection of articles, photos, audios, videos about a wide
range of subjects. Materials are organized, classified and ranked
according to their level of technical difficulty.
- A collection of "why" articles explaining the mystery
of all types of phenomenon.
- A collection of "how-to" articles containing step-by-step
instructions on how to build/maintain all kinds of things.
Knowledge Search Engine
- Allows users of varying age and educational levels to search
and retrieve materials appropriate to their levels. For example,
to learn all about plastic, one would key in the word "plastic,"
the engine would show a list of articles to be read in order.
Knowledge Collector
- Enables contributors to share their knowledge.
- Contributors need not be a recognized expert in a field or
have formal education to contribute knowledge. For example,
a self-taught skillful jeweller upon retirement would have more
to contribute than a top student just out of school.
- Contributions can be unsolicited or solicited. Unsolicited
contributions can be articles that have educational and practical
value. Simply translate them into Vietnamese and e-mail both
to the center. Solicited contributions focus on certain topics
and require certain guidelines to be followed to eliminate duplication.
Bulletin Board / Forum
- Encourages users to post questions, share experiences and
solutions with each other.
