There is a need to discover what human resources are available to the State and what is their individual field of R&D. This need extends to research institutions and there capacity to conduct R&D. Once collected, the data needs to be compiled into a database that is largely self-maintaining via the ability for those registered to be able to change significant details themselves, thus continuously updating the database. The need for such a database extends to the whole country, but it is necessary to conduct a pilot project to determine exactly what data is required, and how the data may be sorted by people looking for one or more people to solve a particular problem.
