How we used Refinder for the redesign of Refinder

Designing a website typically involves a diverse set of stakeholders. The process between kick-off and launch is heavy on tasks like ideation, analysis, communication, opinion forming, discussion and decision making.

Jennifer Zaino features Refinder in an article published on SemanticWeb.com. Refinder builds on research findings about Semantic Web and knowledge work and brings them to collaboration scenarios.
