Abstract
Idea Management Systems (IMS) manage the innovation lifecycle from the moment of invention until ideas are implemented in the market. Dur- ing the lifecycle the IMS supports collaboration, allows idea enrichment with comments, contextual data, or connected to other relevant ideas. Semantic tech- nologies can improve the knowledge management capabilities of IMSs allowing relevant information to be easily linked to ideas. Many Enterprises concerned with sustainability encourage employeeâs par- ticipation as a means to boost creative innovation within their Sustainability Ini- tiatives. However little work has examined the role of an IMS within Sustaina- bility. In this paper we analyse the impact of a semantic-enabled IMS within a sustainability innovation process. In particular, how ideas can be enriched with contextual Linked Open Data (LOD), especially Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) data, to improve the understanding, implication and value of the idea from the sustainability perspective.
