The Vision of the VOA3R project is now depicted by the VOA3R Vision map and described in the living document ‘White Paper on Vision’. The map and document reflect all the outcomes of the interactive session that took place during VOA3R's Kick-Off Meeting (2010, Athens) in which all partners participated.  

 

The paper serves as a living document that will be periodically revisited and revised, all the important decisions taken during the development of the project will be included. The White Paper can be seen as a guide and as a documentation instrument for all the partners. 

The software used to create the map is Debategraph, a web-based, collaborative idea visualization tool. Debategraph is the perfect tool to create and maintain a living document, since updates and changes can be easily performed. Debategraph combines dynamic visualization with editing and is very intuitive. It represents very clear the involved users, the type of content, the content sources and the content identification. 

 

The advantage of the Debategraph is that if the maps are set public they can be continuously revised and evaluated by anyone who joins the community. The goal of the debategraph team is to create a new public service that enables local and global communities to think together and create maps that contain the debate from all points of view.
