The cognitive interface to the
information system.
Organizations that manage information systems (companies,
services, corporative libraries, etc.) invest immense resources in the research
of new
methods to represent and manage contents and documents. Most of
these systems which are already operational
present the following
problems:
-
Low pertinence in
retrieval.
-
The user interface is
not economical.
-
They have to face analysis,
design, development and implementation costs.
-
The designed "knowledge
organization" designed for users, doesn't match the end user's own
domain conception.
-
Confusion between
"contents management" and “document management”.
-
Integration difficulty with the organization's
own system.
-
Some information systems
might require the development of a real ontology, which is not
consistent with the hierarchical principle of most available
systems.
It is obvious that the ideal system resulting from
research and trials is a knowledge based system, not solely to follow a
fad, but because the correspondence between contents and knowledge is maximal
when a cognitive interface is used. This
cognitive interface
is built on a semantic network, to which the node documents to be managed and
their attributes are associated to specifically
describe each topic.
Some further reasons that emphasize this convenience are:
-
Immediate implementation,
there's no need for analysis, design, etc.
-
The unique system “cost”
is the interactive construction of the knowledge base, that can be
built at a pace to be decided by the KB administrator.
-
The interface (the
semantic network itself) can be extended or modified in real time.
-
The KB can be protected
against non-authorized access or modification.
-
The semantic network can
be distributed into levels.
-
Each topic can be
explained by means of an internal text, image or video.
-
Related documents can be
of any type or origin and reside anywhere in the intranet or
Internet.
-
A glue technology like
KM saves time, effort, money and reduces uncertainty and complexity.
-
The result of an
Internet search can be associated to the knowledge base in real time.
-
Maximal correspondence
between the end users' view of his domain and the "knowledge
organization" he is using to access information.

The ideal system
resulting from this research exists. The cognitive solution
to contents management with Knowledge Master permits:
-
Unifying multiple
information sources normally scattered throughout the organization
(business, information center, college, etc.) in a unique
container.
-
A unique interface
for all information sources.
-
Finding the
necessary documents at the right moment.
-
Using a standard
method to capture a reuse information from a powerful cognitive interface.
-
Accessing all
documents, process descriptions and information from a
collaborative visual interface.
-
Using a single
visual interface
-
Using a single
knowledge model.
-
Using a universal
data access.
-
Get a natural
and visual
identification of categories.
-
Connecting all
information sources to an interface that reflects the way in
which
end users think and reason.
With
Knowledge Master
it is possible to:
Create inside Knowledge Master
your
own
data base
associated to knowledge, with any data types.
Connect
any file types,
Web pages and proprietary systems in a unique view.
Effective team
collaboration.
Use high level
topics (nodes concatenations, paths).
Get easily orientated even when the user
doesn't know how contents are structured. Data bases do not offer orientation resources.
In KM, searching is associative, it follows the natural
organization of ideas.
Locate main contents
and related topics while navigating information.
Universal data
access. Information is a precious asset and must be accessible
when it's needed.
Locate the exact
idea or topic. From it, you have all associated ideas
and information
available.
Export the full
knowledge base to an external format ( HTML,
XML,
XTM,
etc.) for its use in other applications.
Include the
description of business applications like projects, processes,
etc.
Use the KM
multilingual interface with translation.

The
excellence of visual cognitive interfaces over text or data
interfaces is obvious!!!!
