This paper is based upon two recent research programs - those of Stefik (1986; Stefik et al, 1987) and Malone et al (1987). Both concern interactive knowledge media, i.e., programs which support communications, networking, and the exchange of knowledge or information. We briefly describe these research programs, and relate them to our own program SIPE1 (System for Interactive Proposal Evaluation). The theoretical framework for SIPE1 is derived from research in cognitive science (Lakoff and Johnson, 1981) and the philosophy of knowledge (Helman, 1987). We present this research and then describe SIPE1 in detail. In the concluding section of the paper, we consider how the representation structures for SIPE1 can be elaborated so as to represent cases, examples, or paradigms.
