Welcome to the construction site for the KnowSys project. The KnowSys Project is a self-help knowledge system that uses consensus building groupware to create a "Wisdom-Base" of information & methods for understanding and making the most of the human journey we are all on. The KnowSys vision is to use the new tools suddenly available to us here in cyberspace to help our species create a living, self-organizing gathering place for our collective self-knowledge. It is an attempt to gather, filter and present the best answers we as a species have to the questions we all ask during our lifetimes on this planet.
The "Answer Machine" will make the large body of knowledge and wisdom that the KnowSys Project generates accessible to anyone through an easy to use interactive interface.
The Knowledge Filter, a unique information filtering system, will select the most useful contributions for the Answer Machine response system by sorting its data in response to user feedback. As the Wisdom-Base grows we hope that it will integrate many perspectives on any given subject as well as opposing views and personal commentary submitted by other users. . As the query routing system employed by the Answer Machine interface becomes more sophisticated, the information generated will become more and more personalized. Ultimately, we envision the KnowSys Project as a kind of electronic "Tribal Elder" for our new global village.
