  6. 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

  17. 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

  18. 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...

  19. Semantic Web Perspective on Digital Libraries

  20. Ontology for scholarly claims and relations

  21. The Claimaker tool

  22. From documents to concepts

  23. 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?
