The evolving mSpace platform: leveraging the semantic web on the trail of the memex

摘要: Vannevar Bush proposed the memex as a means to support building knowledge in way he says human brain works: by association. Achieving this vision has been core motivation for hypertext research. In paper, we suggest first that Bush's reflects an interaction paradigm rather than system design. Second, propose Semantic Web promises provide mechanisms enable these requirements. Third, mSpace framework and architecture platform deploy lightweight applications which foreground associative interaction. We approach evaluate both needs cost/benefits of using technologies them.
