- Slide 12: Our context (1)
“I want to talk about the challenge of our generation. […] Our
challenge, our generation’s unique challenge, is learning to
live peacefully and sustainably in an extraordinarily crowded
world.
“The way of solving problems requires one fundamental
change, a big one, and that is learning that the challenges of
our generation are not us versus them, they are not us
versus Islam, us versus the terrorists, us versus Iran, they
are us, all of us together on this planet against a set of
shared and increasingly urgent problems.”

- Slide 13: Doug Engelbart (cont/d)
Engelbart (1963): A Conceptual Framework for the
Augmentation of Man’s Intellect
A concept structure (...) is something that can be
designed or modified, and a basic hypothesis of
our study is that better concept structures can be
developed —structures that when mapped into a
human’s mental structure will significantly
improve his capability to comprehend and to find
solutions within his complex-problem solving
situations.
Englebart (1963— reprinted in Greif, 1988: p. 54)

- Slide 14: Our context (2)
“With these “minds”, a person will be well equipped
to deal with what is expected, as well as with what
cannot be anticipated; without these minds, a
person will be at the mercy of forces that he or she
can’t understand, let alone control.
“The disciplined mind… the synthesizing mind…
the creating mind… the respectful mind… the
ethical mind.”
Howard Gardner: Five Minds for the Future.
Harvard Univ. Press, 2006: p.2

- Slide 87: Cognitive Coherence Relations
The hypothesis:
Our symbol systems are shaped by, and designed
to convey, conceptual structures: coherence
There may be some core, primitive coherence
relations that manifest consistently across symbol
systems and communities
Symbol systems can therefore be analysed for
patterns indicating coherence relations
In written and spoken language, the cohesive
devices are evidence of underlying conceptual
structures
If we can codify these, we could therefore have
computationally tractable representations with
psychological reality

- Slide 92: Returning to Gardner’s
Five Minds for the Future…
Perhaps Hypermedia Discourse tools provide a way to move
fluidly between the dierent minds:
a way to provide representational scaolding for disciplined
modelling
but permitting the creative breaking of patterns when
needed, and the forging of new syntheses
a way to show respect for diverse stakeholders’ concerns by
explicitly integrating them into the conversation
a way to bring into an analysis ‘messy’ requirements such as
ethical principles, as well as hard data and constraints
We have some evidence from our case studies that we’re on the
right track, but there remains much to do.
92
© Simon Buckingham Shum
- Slide 93: Ongoing research challenges…
Hypermedia Discourse at Net scale:
developing a Web 2.0 style walk-up-and-use tool
to scaold analysts in the creation of semantic
networks for deliberation and argumentation
Cognitive Coherence Relations patterns
modelling such structures at the CCR level to
validate the hypothesis that there are generic
‘coherence patterns’
Maturing the Compendium community of practice
working on a deeper understanding of ‘fluency’
These ideas/tools and the CS community?…

- Slide 94: web pragmatics?
the Pragmatic Web?
pragmatic webs?
“THE PRAGMATIC WEB CONFERENCE is a unique forum to
envision and debate how the emerging social, semantic,
multimedia Web mediates the ways in which we construct shared
meaning. While there is much research and development into
topics relevant to this challenge such as collaboration, usability,
knowledge representation, and social informatics, the Pragmatic
Web conference provides common ground for dialogue at the
nexus of these topics.”
