What is EXPRESSway?

EXPRESSway™ is a Knowledge Cloud Web application that accelerates your information gathering, reasoning, and learning as you research topics. It provides orientation and guidance based on the topics and ideas that you are investigating. EXPRESSway suggests resources, intelligently directs and launches context-specific queries on search engines and databases, tracks provenance and prompts further thinking. And, you can create your own notebooks, mash-ups, and analysis whenever a more in-depth exploration is appropriate (such as comparing product features, evaluating an investment opportunity, or conducting scientific research). By automatically learning your and other peoples successful research strategies and valued resources, EXPRESSway transform collected knowledge into Collective Intelligence including:

• Reference Knowledge in the form of facts, relationships, and other content,
• Directed search strategies connecting key questions that guide the research process to the best resources to answer those questions,
• Suggested Resources that are additional content resources that are "pushed" to users based on their current focus, and
• Personalized notebooks that enable users to collect and share knowledge and frame topics of interest in their own way.

Underneath the covers is a process that synthesizes Conceptual Structures from databases, ontologies, Web mining, and proprietary resources. User communities, in Web 2.0 style, enrich this knowledge with additional resource suggestions, questions that organize thinking, and additional content. EXPRESSway automatically learns from user successes to enhance the experience for all. Each user contributes to the ever-improving information ecosystem of the group.
