Revolutionary System Models
  • Where do new Systems come from?
  • Systems projects can Build Models
  • Models can inspire Mass Infrastructure
  • Sponsor determines Purpose of Systems
  • Public Interest is not Commercial
  • Revolutionary Systems is not Commercial
  • NSF technology Foundation sponsorship
  • can build revolutionary system models!

Evolution of the Net
  • The Present Access
  • The Net fetches documents
  • The Future Organization
  • The Net searches repositories
  • The Millennium Analysis
  • The Net correlates information
  • From the Internet (data transmission)
  • to the Interspace (information manipulation)

6
System Model Timeline
  • 1984 Telesophy proposed at Bellcore
  • revolutionary system prototype developed
  • 1989 Schatz systems advisor at NCSA
  • 20th Anniversary ARPANET Symposium
  • 1994 NCSA Mosaic gains many users
  • Mosaic 1M, Netscape 50M, Explorer 100M
  • 1999 Web achieves Telesophy functionality
  • browsing sharing multimedia documents

Advancing the Public Interest
  • Industrial RD labs have Vanished
  • Commercial pressures push Advertising
  • Where are Revolutionary Models today?
  • At Universities, with public private funds
  • For example...

9
Global Cultural Memory
  • Enable Everyone to understand
  • How They Have Lived and
  • How They Will Live
  • The Structures of Everyday Life
  • recorded over space and time
  • correlated in a global information space
  • Appreciate the Past and Predict the Future

10
Evolutionary System Model
  • Getty project using commercial technology
  • Museum-style Web collection
  • curators to classify from big sources
  • Champaign County Historical information
  • county-level community repository
  • 5000 Historical Societies in US

Revolutionary System Model
  • A planet for every kids local environment
  • Federating the planets into a universe
  • Ordering all planets from kids POV
  • Flying through the Kids Universe
  • Finding similar kids from different POVs
  • Connecting historically through museums
  • this is feasible due to NSF technology!!

Research Issues in KDI
  • Community Repositories sovereign
    individual
  • indexing all the knowledge of small groups
  • Semantic Federation transient
    centralization
  • creating virtual libraries from distributed
    repositories
  • Information Analysis think globally,
    act locally
  • correlating across repositories to solve problems
  • The World of a Billion Repositories
  • The Interspace of the 21st Century
  • http//www.canis.uiuc.edu/keytalks.html

21
Community System
results
data
(database management)
(electronic mail)
knowledge
(hypertext annotations)
literature
news
(information retrieval)
(bulletin boards)
Formal
Informal
browse and share all the knowledge of a community
22
Worm Community System
  • WCS Information
  • Literature Biosis, Medline, newsletter, meetings
  • Data Genes, Maps, Sequences, strains, people
  • WCS Functionality
  • Browsing search, navigation
  • Filtering selection, analysis
  • Sharing linking, publishing
  • WCS 250 users at 50 labs across the Internet

Federation Techniques
  • Structure Federation using SGML
  • Syntactic Federation using multiple views
  • Semantic Federation using term suggestion
  • examples from DLI Testbed

Interspace Prototype
  • semantic retrieval concept spaces
  • semantic interoperability vocabulary switching
  • semantic indexing object categorization
  • semantic clustering category maps
  • information spaceflight region visualization
  • analysis environment path correlations

44
KDI Implications
  • Sovereign Individual
  • community repositories for custom indexing
  • Transient Centralization
  • community curators as relationship bonders
  • Think Globally, Act Locally
  • vocabulary switches for correlation
    infrastructure
  • Situational Analysis
  • dynamic categorization for problem solving
  • Zen of the Net
  • at one with the knowledge of the world (mushin)
