Empower Individuals to Empower Groups

by Daniel LaLiberte, NCSA

• Collaboration should not Supress the Individual
• Too much inappropriate group input
• Not enough appropriate personal output
• Web lets individuals publish what then want and read what they want, if they can find it.
• Filtering is Essential!
• Agents to search for info matching personal profile.
• Prioritize and organize based on personal preferences.
• Active notification - send selected info to users who want or need it.
• What If Everyone Gets What They Want?
• Self-serving groups isolated from contrary ideas?
• Public == All Individuals
• Scaling Collaboration to the Public
• Can't and don't need to send all info everywhere.
• Registration for notification via distributed weblets.
