What is TINCA ?
15.01.2015 Nicolas POINT 2
Transnational: TINCA will regroup all competences in the partner regions and is easily extendable.
Interactive: Search and selection functions allow to easily combine search functionnalities.
Nano-Competence: Overview on players (industry, research center,...) with nano-related competences (who can construct, who can measure, who can test,...). Furthermore, TINCA also focuses on fields of application, etc.
Atlas: Refers to the fact that the competences will be displayed in a territorial context.
What is in TINCA ?
15.01.2015 Nicolas POINT 3
● Nanoplayers in each regions : Name, address, type of institution,...● Associate technical keywords for each players...
For Example : SIRRIS :
Department or group: NanomaterialsLiege Science Park, rue du Bois Saint-Jean, 12 - 4102-SERAING - Belgium (Wallonia)Contact person (by web form) – website : http://wwww.sirris.be (link is external)Industry sector: Chemistry and materials, Healthcare, Energy, Equipment engineering, Consumer productsCategory: Research (e.g. universities, research centers and institutes of technology)Areas: Chemistry, Engineering mechanics, Optical communications engineering, Optoelectronics, Sensor technology, Image processing, Fiber optics, Metrology, product development, microfabrication, nano-ink, aerosol jet printing,...Areas of expertise: Nanopowders synthesis and characterization, nano-composites, product development, nano-ink, aerosol jet printing,
Keywords ???
15.01.2015 Nicolas POINT 4
But keywords... Everyone has a different vocabulary, emphasis on details or on global competence, each sector has specific terms for specific language,...
So we develop a dedicated TAXONOMY (from Ancient Greek: τάξις taxis, "arrangement," and -νομία -nomia, "method")
Best known taxonomy is the Biological classification
TINCA taxonomy specificities
15.01.2015 Nicolas POINT 7
For nanotechnologies, at least in the frame of the NANORA project, we do not need to be as exhaustive :
What we want is to help anyone to find any nanoplayer in any competence pool in any of our regions !
We have then to take the "TINCA user" point of view... but who is the user ?
Someone searching a precise material, raw or manufactured ? Someone able to describe it exactly or through its properties ? Someone searching if there
are nanomaterials usefull in its industry sector ?
NANORA Taxonomy
15.01.2015 Nicolas POINT 8
From these point of view, we develop the taxonomy separating the classification around a few "main nodes" :
● Raw Nanomaterials;● Intermediate products;● End Markets;● Value chains● Actors.
Even with this... Here is the result ( more details available on the website)

TINCA Usage
15.01.2015 Nicolas POINT 13
Concrete results for TINCA available on the Nanora website
● You can search for a nanoplayer with TINCA tags
● You can refine your serach (regions,...)
● You can look at the taxonomy and extend or refine your search
● You can look at the taxonomy and find related tags to extend or refine your search using another point of view.
Next steps for TINCA?

From our side :
Improve taxonomy search page (soon) and Ergonomy Taxonomy graphical presentation
From your side :
Use it and give us feedback Tags of your company : Please correct/complete/propose/refine Taxonomy in itself : New tags, links between tags, structure,... Any other proposal around this classification or tools that can be useful
