Hi everyone I am happy to announce nanocontext, a inter-disciplinary framework that mimics the human mechanism of building, using and sharing "context" and carrying it forward to authored content. Basically it is a framework where existing information content is progressively and contextually "deconstructed" or broken down into the things that they represent, down to the smallest level within the content. The core engine easily extends to media content as well. Eventually the framework creates a "hypercontextual semantic web" where the boundaries between text and media content dissolve and one can contextually navigate across parts of text and media content, correlate content across resources, perform contextual search and extraction and much more. This work was started in 1999, a hybrid inspired by topic maps/XTM and few other semantic web initiatives and my work on modeling the human context mechanism. Over the last 5 years, it has developed into an inter-disciplinary framework which draws on diverse knowledge from human-system interaction, knowledge models, interaction design, concept maps and umpteen other areas. Looking forward for some exchange with the semantic web community for this and similar initiatives. A brief about the technology can be found at http://www.nanocontext.com/nanocontext.pdf A demo (static) of the contextual capabilities can be seen at http://www.nanocontext.com Regards Manoj
