DeSyGNER: A Building Block Architecture Fostering Independent Cooperative Development of Multimedia Knowledge Management Applications
Year: 1990
Type: article
Abstract: Multimedia knowledge management requires generalized sharing, composition and inter-relation of disparate data and knowledge elements. Since traditional computer operating systems treat programs as bodies of isolated functionality, inter-program connections can be made only by considerable effort on the part of each program author. We have been developing a multimedia kernel called DeSyGNER (the Decision Systems Group Nucleus of Extensible Resources) that provides basic multimedia knowledge management support to any number of application-specific environments and program elements. We believe that our architecture addresses some of the key issues in medical multi-user knowledge management and foresee evolutionary steps that can be taken toward operating system support of generalized multimedia knowledge management.
