Structuring and representation of scientific knowledge for a transfer through an electronic knowledge-book

The use of scientific knowledge on waste wood management is the main factor that facilitates the responsible use of recovered wood respecting the environment. Nowadays, numerous scientific results are generated and published by universities and research institutions; but small quantities are exploited by nonscientific people. This problem is due to the difficulty of transfer and assimilation of this knowledge in its current representation. In this paper, we propose a new structure and representation of both type of scientific knowledge (declarative and procedural) to facilitate its transfer to non-scientific people through a hypertext electronic knowledge-book. The declarative scientific knowledge has been represented by concept maps and hierarchically structured through semantic relationships and the procedural scientific knowledge has been represented by technical sheets.
