Capture Knowledge on the Spot: Toward the Autonomous and Pervasive Service of Context-Rich Knowledge

Abstract

Knowledge must be acquired not only at the moment when it is presented, but also at the site where it is applied to. To guarantee the immediate acquisition of context-rich knowledge at anytime and anywhere, fully-automated as well as pervasive capabilities must be considered together. This paper proposes a methodology to capture knowledge on the spot in an autonomous and pervasive manner by deploying the Smartphone as a sensor to monitor and gather dialogue-based knowledge and context data. Smart-ConKAS (SMARTphone-based CONtextual Knowledge Acquisition System), a prototype system, is implemented to validate the proposed concepts.
