Main Aspects
• Intg. of knowledge, web, agent and language technologies
• “Grounded Research”• Ubiquitous use of ontologies• Support for various types of
knowledge-intensive activities– Publishing– Semantic search/Retrieval– Acquisition & Modelling– Reuse (application development by reuse)– Personalization

Required Components
• ‘Static’ Semantic Resources– PaleoBotany Ontologies– Task Ontologies for Classification & Image Analysis– Image DBs with semantic markup– Mapping Ontologies
• Problem Solving Services– Brokers– Image Analysis Services– Heuristic Classification Services– Mapping Services
• Next Generation Digital Library– ontology aware– handles logical queries– supports scholarly interpretation task
Ubiquitous “Smart” Technology
• Smart publishing, knowledge sharing• Smart access to digital libraries• Intelligent Services available online• Ontology-driven Personalization
Services• “Automated Enrichment”
– Incidental Knowledge Acquisition• “Smart Buttons” intg. with authoring tools
– Smart Indexing• Email management
– Email annotated in terms of events, people, orgs...
– Agents monitor and record actions, such as building a record of email discussion...
Some Interesting Implications.....
• Conceptual Network itself becomes the focus of discourse– we go beyond markup.....
• Either (or both)– New forms of literacy emerge (???)– Knowledge Capture Technologies become crucial
• Hybrid Communities emerge– Software agents contribute to the dialectic of a
scientific or scholarly community
• New models of web interfaces are needed– What meaning the “Back” button will take?– What is a bookmark in a conceptual network?
