SUBJECT: OUTPUT: How the KnowSys knowledgebase will be accessed by its users


The rate of development of new information processing and retrieval technologies makes it difficult to predict the exact form that this interface might ultimately take. We envision an easy to use interface with a pleasant personality. Like a patient listener it would ask you questions to help pinpoint the parts of the KnowSys project that might provide answers or perspectives most suitable to you. If the KnowSys concept continues to develop it may even evolve into a virtual reality world where you can sit at the feet of The Buddha or ask questions of a virtual brain researcher! At this point, the website can be browsed as one would an interactive multi-media encyclopedia. The main subject index or the main user menu is a good place to start. Very soon we hope to develop THE ANSWER MACHINE section into an online searchable database and an expert system style query routing system based on the KnowSys knowledge-base.
