Design of a supporting tool for knowledge creation

Knowledge creation from flooding information is one of the most burdensome subjects we face today. We have developed a support tool to create knowledge for effective use of information. As a basis of the tool, we propose a cooperative framework, where user and the system cooperate each other to derive knowledge from gathered information. After presenting the structure of the tool, we illustrate two major functions with examples. The first one is the systematic arrangement of knowledge and the second is the elaborated search referencing knowledge base.
