Jerome,
As I know you are already aware, work is progressing with new
collaboration technologies. I have been working with Douglas Engelbart
for the past year trying to help move forward and now develop support
resources to further the development of a system targeted at
facilitation of complex, urgent problem solving and specializing in
inter-disciplinary knowledge work. http://www.bootstrap.org
We presently have worked out many functional parts of a system involving
XHTML, HTTP, RDF, NODAL, IBIS and CoDIAK. The system would begin as
what we call a Hyperscope and evolve into an Open Hyperdocument System.
Perhaps the issues of integration of numerous websites that are
publishing relevent data on this scale could be used as a target for us
all.
Regards,
