Based on this integrated approach, a prototype of distributed knowledge management system for innovation is developed.
One interesting thing about the software world, I find, is that there is a trickle-up system for innovation.
But experts say governments have to go beyond funding impressive projects, that a sustainable eco-system for innovation is what is needed.
This work is supported by grants from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan, 'Agri-Health Translational Research Project' grant to F.T., and 'Development of Genome Information Database System for Innovation of Crop and Livestock Production' to T.I.
