Abstract

In many application areas, there is a need for inter-disciplinary collaboration and education. However, such education and collaboration are not easy. On the example of our participation in a cyberinfrastructure project, we show that many obstacles on the path to successful collaboration and education can be overcome if we take into account that each person’s knowledge of a statement is often a matter of degree – and that we can therefore use appropriate degree-based ideas and techniques.
