TAFS presents knowledge about Paratuberculosis in novel format
10 February 2010 | News on TAFSKnowledge dissemination about transmissible animal diseases and food safety is a key mandate of TAFS. So far, we have done this through public conferences and position papers on our website. Now, TAFS has taken a novel approach and makes the knowledge captured in previous documents available through 'Grasp-It®', a tool that sorts statements into three categories (facts, opinions, assumptions) and makes the semantic relationships betweem them transparent (e.g., opinion x is based on fact y and assumption z).
Go to www.grasp-it.ch to learn more about the approach or start the tool here.
