Abstract / Description of output
In order to address problems stemming from the dynamic
nature of distributed systems, there is a need to be able to
express notions of evolution and change of knowledge components
of such systems. This need becomes more pressing
when one considers the potential of the Internet for distributed
knowledge-based problem solving — and the pragmatic
issues surrounding knowledge integrity and trust this
raises. We introduce a formal calculus for describing transformations
in the ‘lifecycles’ of knowledge components,
along with suggestions about the nature of distributed environments
in which the notions underpinning the calculus
can be realised. The formality and level of abstraction of this
language encourages the analysis of knowledge histories and
allows useful properties about this knowledge to be inferred
