Knowledge Platform for Electromagnetic Fields

The Knowledge platform for Electromagnetic fields and Health (Kennisplatform Elektromagnetische Velden) is a cooperation project between National Institute for Public Health and Environment (RIVM), TNO, KEMA, Public Health Service (GGD), Radiocommunications Agency (Agentschap Telecom) and ZonMw. There is wide range of opinions and points of view on the Internet about electromagnetic fields and their effect on humans. The government wants to provide information to employees and citizens, based on facts and scientific research. The collected knowledge is therefore published on Kennisplatform.nl.

Business question: knowledge sharing platform and a website

Virtual Affairs was asked to develop a platform which would combine a public website for the news and knowledge bulletins. The cooperation between the participants in this project leads to expert opinions, based on facts and research. The intention is that this information can be managed by the author. That’s why Virtual Affairs was asked to design a simple, user-friendly content management solution.

Solution: Microsoft SharePoint, .NET and SiteFinity

For the information website we used CMS-System Sitefinity and Microsoft .NET:

interaction design and back-end architecture
implementation of standard templates and controls
central and user-friendly content management
knowledge and news bulletins (content) easy to publish on the Internet
various options for feedback (forms, email).

Result:

A user-friendly knowledge platform:

state of the art website with appealing and clear design
simple to manage (publish and edit) content, including PDF publishing
