Knowledge Information Navigator
("KIN")
KIN is collaborative social network technology for knowledge discovery and information management. It adds value to research, and large-scale bodies of knowledge, by discovering, integrating, and using inherent informational linkages to:
- create collaborative, interactive communities around a body of knowledge (harnessing the community’s collective intelligence)
- find the connections and synergies within disparate or seemingly unconnected bodies of knowledge through an integrated package of search, clustering and visualisation tools (Innovation in assembly of disparate information)
- generate better quality, high impact research
- leverage the collective intelligence of an enterprise and community
- effectively use information provided by others to improve one’s own individual knowledge discovery process
- transmit the knowledge, expertise, and actions of a few individuals across a large community until that knowledge, expertise, and actions becomes the norm for it
- use blogs, tweets and other Web 2.0 technologies integrating with data mining tools.
- create an evolving algorithm for intelligent, ever-improving knowledge navigation by collecting user searching, tagging, clustering and navigation ‘tracks‘ for future usage (smart suggestions)
The ‘what’ of information search may be known, but not the ‘right’ question to ask. The innovation of the Knowledge Information Navigator is in its design to formulate just what that ‘right’ question would be.
The focus of the KIN is on quality of information and not just quantity.
