Assissted Knowledge Discovery and Publication System and Method

Abstract

A system and method is presented for knowledge discovery that incorporate both human and computers to index, process, and communicate and share the knowledge and electronic contents. It also provides a platform for launching unlimited number of qualified and content reviewed publishing/broadcasting ventures. The system assists individuals for faster and more efficient discovery/creation of new and useful knowledge, and valuable artistic content. It also provides incentives to the owners of the ventures and a method for rewarding or compensating all contributors.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED FOREIGN PATENT APPLICATION [0001]The present application claims priority to Canadian patent application No. CA 2,595,541, filed on Jul. 6, 2007 entitled “Assisted knowledge discovery and publication system and method” by the same applicant.FIELD OF INVENTION [0002]This invention generally relates to knowledge discovery, content creation, and content sharing using people, computer systems, software program agents, and databases.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003]Internet has provided a long awaiting tool for connection and communication of people around the world.

Benefits of technology

[0029]The present invention provides a system and method for faster and efficient universal knowledge discovery by firstly providing and presenting the worthwhile and important subjects to explore and work on. Secondly, by having built the map of ontological subjects of the universe, assisting and guiding users to explore, and to assess their work and discover new knowledge of the subjects as fast as possible. Thirdly providing an environment for rapid expert reviewed circulation and publication of new or filtered knowledge that it is more credible and rigorous than non-reviewed published materials over the Internet. The described system and method does not impose any limit on the number of subjects and the number of content being received, thereby enabling exploration of all possible subject matters of interest and importance to the public and science while it maintains the desirable standards of the published contents. This will bring the cost of useful knowledge discovery significantly down.

[0030]Moreover the invention provides a system and method that allows people to get a fast assessment of their work universally and have a r

Problems solved by technology

However, since most of these knowledge sharing and contributions are arbitrary qualified, it takes time for general public to come to a robust and lasting understanding of a subject, or appreciation of a content.

Therefore, the vast amount of data, that is being generated daily, has to be filtered out over a relatively long period of time by collective wisdom of public before it can be used.

While in most subject matters of general public interest, ordinary people may contribute to the subject and let the fact and best solution to be found overtime, these unsupervised method of general public understanding growth lacks the rigor and credibility that is needed for a real advancement of public well being.

The rigor and credibility only comes after a relatively long period of time.
