Presented by Haruni Krisnawati, ITPC Lead Coordinator, on the ITPC side event “Could a virtual collaborative platform help to preserve tropical peatlands?” at the XV World Forestry Congress, Seoul, Republic of Korea, 5 May 2022.
2. ITPC knowledge platform
A go-to place for information on peatlands
and provide space for users to browse,
search and contribute a variety of
knowledge products.
Hosts two main users:
Knowledge users – researchers, academics,
policymakers, students and members of the
public seeking reliable data to build and boost
their own analyses for their own needs; and
Knowledge providers – research organizations,
government agencies and private organizations.

available knowledge
Act as media for a community of
practice on sustainable peatlands
Help disseminate policy and best
practice experiences on sustainable
tropical peatland management
To increase awareness and
discoverability of peatland-related
open data
To promote the birth of new
knowledge on peatlands

4. ITPC Knowledge Portal
Inter platform and people interactions
This diagram illustrates how
people use the knowledge
portal and how the portal
platform interacts with
other platforms.
8. Expert Directory list
In total there are more than
2,000 authors listed in this
directory.
Comply with GDPR (General Data
Protection Regulation) to get

manage using VIVO.
Open source software and an
ontology for representing
scholarship
Enables the discovery of
research and scholarship
across disciplines
Linked open data
11. Details information – profiles, skills,
works, visualization networks -
listed on each expert
Each publication has Altmetrics
score and citation numbers showed
to highlight the popularity of the
publication and how they serve the
users
Expert information
12. The network graph visualize relationship of
author collaboration with others expert.
Relationship line thickness is base on number
of publications being collaborate with others
expert.
The visualization focus on showing the
connections of the selected person.
Network
13. Provides a representation of the
research areas of each profile as a
"map of science".
The size of the bubbles indicates the
relative number of papers in that
area.
The colors indicate the subject areas.
The connections on the map indicate
the co-author tendencies of authors
in each of the disciples.
Disciplines are grouped on the map
by co-author tendencies.

14. Current development
Static.
Act as a metadata
harvester
Current features is to
encourages outputs
discovery, expert
finding, and network
analysis.
15. Next Step
Dynamic.
Additional function and
feature that made the static
directory becoming more
interactive
Inviting data providers to
submit their work and make
it available to the public
under agreed data-sharing
protocols
Knowledge repositories provides a catalog and repository to support the research community in sharing and discovering data and information from different sources on
peatlands.
Expert database: Who fall under this category? a person who has a comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of or skill in peatland area. This could be a scientist, scholar,
Collaborative platform:
There are 11 types of assets or contents in the platform. These are: publications, datasets, videos, presentations, stories, new articles, infographics, photos, maps, contacts, and events.
When a publication, as an asset, has a connection with its authors, one or more authors are represented as ITPC collaborators. By evaluating this relationship, we prioritize four actors:
Author – the name of the author of an asset, such as a publication, video or dataset;
Expert – the profile of a person that might be connected to an existing author, and hence has at least one connection to the asset. An expert profile is accessible to the public, and registered users are allowed to connect with the expert. The portal will only publish an expert’s profile with consent from the profile owner;
Partner – represents an organization related to the ITPC project, such as a funding partner or project collaborator. As partners may relate to a project, the portal will store project information, where it can be connected to project output (asset) metadata;
Publisher – is an organization owning the right to publish a product (asset/output). The publisher is in the best position to group the products/ assets produced across different partners or experts.
