This paper presents the first pilot experience of the research program, which implemented a one-to-one computer infrastructure in a small rural community in Costa Rica. While the majority of experiences have been done in developed countri...

How the semantic web will change KR: challenges and opportunities for a new research agenda

Roadmap for new opportunities in melanoma research.

Investigators representing all major melanoma research areas present an overview of the most important challenges for the field. Four major research areas are covered plus the training of new investigators. For each area we first describe the present status, its strengths and weaknesses, and then outline specific recommendations. In basic research of melanoma, we outline the pertinent issues fo...
