Meme Media Architecture for Intuitively Accessing and Organizing Intellectual Resources

  • Conference paper
Intuitive Human Interfaces for Organizing and Accessing Intellectual Assets

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3359))

Abstract

With the growing need for interdisciplinary and international availability, distribution and exchange of intellectual resources including information, knowledge, ideas, pieces of work, and tools in reeditable and redistributable organic forms, we need new media technologies that externalize scientific, technological, and/or cultural knowledge fragments in an organic way, and promote their advanced use, international distribution, reuse, and reediting. These media may be called meme media since they carry what R. Dawkins called “memes”. An accumulation of memes in a society forms a meme pool that functions like a gene pool. Meme pools will bring about rapid accumulations of memes, and require new technologies for the management and retrieval of memes. This paper first reviews our R&D on meme media, and then proposes their application to the Web to make it work as a meme pool for collaboratively reediting intellectual resources, as well as for intuitively accessing and organizing the huge accumulation of intellectual resources in our societies.
