Danny-
 
"Collaborative research" is of course a pretty user story.  ;-)  But, I
would say that the strengths of Plone that might be relevant include:

*	
	World-class ease-of-use for content authors/contributors
*	
	Strong support for both unstructured and custom-structured
content objects
*	
	The capacity to create simple or complex metadata structures
(from Keywords to PloneOntology)
*	
	Full-text indexing of uploaded Word, PDF, XLS (and more)
*	
	Powerful workflows
*	
	User, group & role-based security

best,
jon

	Does anyone have an experience in using Plone as a collaborative
research tool?
	
	We may be working with a local university IT department to
submit a grant application and they seem to be very into the advantages
that Plone offers. 
	
	Sorry this is rather a woolly question - I'm just putting the
feelers out really.
