Abstract

We present an approach based on knowledge medium using associative structures as a framework of information representationto gather raw information from heterogeneous information sources andto integrate it into information bases cost-effectively.We then present a knowledge media information base system called CM-2 which provides users with a means of accumulating, sharing,exploring and refining conceptually diverse information gathered fromvast information sources. We describe the system‘s four majorfacilities; (a) an information capture facility, (b) an information integration facility, (c) an information retrievalfacility and (d) an information refinement facility. Wediscuss the strength and weakness of our approach by analyzing resultsof experiments.
