time multiple rankings from different qualified persons, which will lead to an“average” lacking subjectivism, an important attribute among the search criteria).Also, function of their belonging to various communities, they will be able to senddocuments on workflows and be able to send documents and information via email.Other technical categories of users: administrators and configurators.The users of the virtual library will have the possibility to subscribe to variousdomains organized in communities. The community membership status will allowthe user to receive information on the new developments in the domain, as well ason the most relevant works (function on the ranking of a document). As a matter offact, this ranking will be an important search criterion.326CONCLUSIONSIn conclusion, information and knowledge, as sources of the progress and thesustainability of organizations, tend to become, in the absence of a propermanagement system, sources of the problems confronting the organizations.Therefore, information and knowledge management is the zone where theorganization can get substantial savings, significant developments and long termcompetitive advantage. The absence of an information management system has anegative effect on the organization competitiveness, affecting its long termdevelopment.The creation of a contextual collaborative platform to manage the intangible valuessolves the frequent situations when too much information “kills” information, sincethe accessibility and easy extraction of the created and stored intangible values aregenerally hindered or limited by the absence of a filtering based on a contextualvalues system, which the users can use to find not only all the informationconcerning a certain problem but, especially, to find only that information whichbest solves their problem, under a given context.An example would be: if, around a technological procedure, we address a classicalknowledge management system, we will come up with an extremely importantamount of documents. These will contain an impressive volume of information,uncorrelated with the contexts under which they were generated, used or retrieved.This further brings about an inefficient utilization and, most frequently, of an adhocnature, of the accumulated knowledge.The collaborative, integrated and secured platform for the increase of theorganizational competitiveness and management of knowledge, information,competencies, expertise and partnerships in the agrifood R&D, assemblingrepresentative organizations in the field will be an interactive, intuitive, flexible,easy to use working instrument for all members of the communities involved in theprocesses of creating and contextually managing the intangible values in theagrifood R&D.
