By Jack Krupansky May 4, 2006 (previous: March 20, 2006 - latest ) Jump directly to PowerPoint presentation The Consumer-Centric Knowledge Web (CCKW) is a research proposal for a new knowledge-based computing infrastructure (global knowledge web platform) which will be much better-suited for consumer applications by enabling computer applications to finally understand what consumers really want.
Consumers have the knowledge, but computers are too “dumb” to understand and there is no language for consumers to conveniently and comfortably express their knowledge. Software agent technology has the raw horsepower, but lacks the fuel (consumer knowledge) to go very far or very fast. Table of Contents Introduction Software agent technology has been an active field of research for more than a decade. The focus of this vision is not to preview the totality of consumer applications that could be constructed, but to establish a base vision upon which consumer applications can then be envisioned .

Tree structured node-link diagrams grew too large to be useful, so I explored ways to show a tree in a space-constrained layout. My initial design simply nested the rectangles, but a more comprehensible design used a border to show the nesting. My excitement about treemaps was great and like many innovators I thought millions of users would be using this tool within a few years.
