  The paper presents a web prototype that visualises different characteristics
of research projects in the heterogeneous domain of educational research. The
concept of the application derives from the project "Monitoring Educational
Research" (MoBi) that aims at identifying and implementing indicators that
adequately describe structural properties and dynamics of the research field.
The prototype enables users to visualise data regarding different indicators,
e.g. "research activity", "funding", "qualification project", "disciplinary
area". Since the application is based on Semantic MediaWikitechnology it
furthermore provides an easily accessible opportunity to collaboratively work
on a database of research projects. Users can jointly and in a semantically
controlled way enter metadata on research projects which are the basis for the
computation and visualisation of indicators.
