The investigation communities spread all over the planet create considerable amounts of knowledge while developing their activities. The most known way of communicating this knowledge is through papers publishing, books and reports, among others. These documents are stored in libraries and even more nowadays, in the Internet, allowing people to access up dated information more efficiently than ever. However, this great amount of available information can represent an obstacle to its transformation in knowledge. It is therefore relevant the implementation of mechanisms that enable this transformation. In this dissertation a proposal for creation of a new information service is presented. It concerns a service of collaborative bibliographic revision, which supports the investigators in this specific task as well as in registering its results, thus providing future revisions by third party. The developed model takes its grounds in a documental background accessible through a commercial libraries management system, under which a "web" of semantically enriched connections is established and that register preferential paths for exploring this background, according to multiple criteria as well as notes to documents and paths themselves. A prototype is presented it implements the fundamental ideas of the model, which at its basic level represents an access interface to a repository of documents in electronic form. Based on this level there are two others, focussed on the registration of information added by the users of the service. The results emerged from this prototype clearly show the viability of the model.
