ArtificialMemory
is a personal and enterprise semantic wiki and argumentation support system, which reflects individual or organizational memory.
The art of memory
- cultivating invisible/natural artificial memory (from imagination) - reaches back to classical antiquity. It vanished, however, soon after Johannes Gutenberg invented letterprint. Since then knowledge is created and maintained mainly by using documents
. Static documents, however, do not duly effect and reflect dynamic (natural/organizational) memory
. While documents are highly enriching information bases, they also become the source of endless overload of depersonalized and dissociated information. The more, the worse. - Well, now is the time to move on.
Today, a paradigm-shifting change of human knowledge and information culture has become possible: networked artificial memory systems reflecting, associatively recalling, and associatively spreading thoughts. At the heart of it, some new and some proven techniques of thought-expression, information retrieval, and information organization are being combined into a universal language-thought-accompanying tool. Textual expression, language thought, argumentation, and language action are being integrated into the whole of a thought association network in tune with memory-engram
structure.
ArtifialMemory represents the first generation of visible artificial memories. The result so far is a new kind of integrated knowledge management
and argumentation-support system, and a corresponding method for increasing the productivity and creativity of knowledge workers and knowledge organizations.
