It provides a reference model for charac-terizing them as a basis for selecting techniques that are particularly appropriate for the idSpace-project. The deliverable also surveys existing creativity tools and character-izes them in terms of underlying techniques. Finally, the deliverable describes requirements for the idSpace-environment and discusses to what extent it can benefit from existing tools.The work on this publication has been sponsored by the idSpace STREP that is funded by the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme.
