Abstract

The WebKB set of tools is intended to combine various technologies for helping KA, IR and CSCW, notably the WWW-related technologies, the databases and the knowledge representation languages and processors. To do so, we rely on our previous experience in the development of CGKAT. The WebKB set of tools home page is at http://www. gisca.adelaide.edu.au/∼phmartin/WebKBtools/.

The WebKB set of tools shares many goals and design principles with current WWW-based public annotations tools, e.g. ComMentor [8] and HyperNews [2], and WWW-based traders, e.g. AlephWeb[9], NetRepository [3] and AI-trader [7]. However, such annotation tools are not intended to index DEs by knowledge (they cannot exploit it for IR), and HyperNews, AlephWeb and AI-trader only allow the user to index documents, not arbitrary parts of them. AI-trader uses CGs for indexing documents, while NetRepository uses KIF for communications between knowledge servers. None of these tools can generate documents as answers to user queries.
