Abstract
The Lens sources, merges, and links diverse open scholarly works and patents to
inform discovery, analysis, decision-making, and partnering options on Lens.org
platform. The created and shared applications and toolkits are designed to
optimize individual and institutional effectiveness in problem solving. In this
presentation, I’ll introduce the role of the Lens in the dynamic and evolving
innovation system, describe its architecture, built upon a metaRecord concept,
and share its new experiment of using open toolkits to amplify a collective action
solution to the problem of problem solving.

Bio
Osmat Jefferson’s interests include science-enabled tools to solve societal prob-
lems. In the past thirty or so years of her professional life, Osmat was a school
teacher, a desk librarian, a first aid volunteer in war zone, a research and lab
leader, a business owner, and a research professor. She researched applied agri-
cultural problems in the field and in the labs of various countries around the
globe, built, and co-developed capabilities for local scientists. Intrigued by the
dynamic and changing nature of innovation systems, she investigates linkages
between various knowledge silos within these systems, including scientific and
technological information and intellectual property and their influence on econ-
omy and society. She and the Lens team build new open toolkits for problems
solvers. Osmat now leads the development of products at Lens.org, an open and
global platform designed by to render science- and technology-enabled problem
solving more effective, efficient and inclusive.
