General Philosophy
Lots of people telling the system a little bit each
- collaborative construction of large knowledge bases
Natural means of Interactions
- Natural Language as a primary thrust
- Use of simple diagrams as a secondary thrust
Language technology is mature enough to exploit
- Not for full text understanding yet (or even soon)
- Sentence level works quite well
Application Focus:
- World situation understanding
- Broad but not necessarily deep knowledge
- Support for textually oriented analysis
