New-category knowledge systems for human-computer cooperation

Two categories of knowledge-based systems are proposed. These are knowledge sharing systems and knowledge communication systems. The essence of the knowledge sharing systems is that knowledge suppliers are the system users, thereby encouraging the users to share and use knowledge that they have provided. Knowledge communication systems provide users with unexpected knowledge that is chosen from the knowledge base by the user's colleagues. Knowledge communication systems use not only the user's intuitive judgment, but also the colleague's intuitive judgment to connect independent pieces of knowledge. Since knowledge sharing systems require knowledge variety, implementation strategies involve approaching large domains and applying a give-and-take principle to acquire knowledge. In knowledge communication systems, establishment of a colleague (user) database is an important task. >
