Abstract/Summary: Processes of open innovation and innovation in living-labs applying the co-creation paradigm do involve many participating innovators across different organizations and stakeholder groups. This is especially true when dealing with disruptive or radical innovations instead of incremental ones. Any methodology and/or tools supporting such processes are distributed and need to be able to transfer knowledge artefacts such as ideas or concepts from one application to another. This paper describes how a repository storing such artefacts has to be organized in order to address the most important requirements coming from the tasks of creating and evaluating ideas. A model is presented which can be implemented using internet standards like representational state transfer (REST).
