Abstract

Systems and methods for advanced functions of a knowledge management and networking environment are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of hosting a web-space having a plurality of objects. One embodiment can further include, identifying semantic metadata of the plurality of objects in the web-space, generating a portable set of collective knowledge from the plurality of objects, and enriching the portable set of collective knowledge with enriched data based on the semantic metadata identified from the plurality of objects. One embodiment can further include, detecting an edit to an object of the plurality of objects in the web-space and updating a source object of the object according to the edit.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

hosting a web-space having a plurality of objects, the plurality of objects to include one or more of, representations of a set of users, a set of web-items, and a set of nets;

wherein a net of the set of nets is a subset of the web-space comprising a sub-plurality of the plurality of objects; and

identifying semantic metadata of the plurality of objects in the web-space.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising, generating a portable set of collective knowledge from the plurality of objects.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising, enriching the portable set of collective knowledge with enriched data based on the semantic metadata identified from the plurality of objects.

4. The method of claim 2, further comprising, importing or exporting the portable set of collective knowledge to or from the web-space to various platforms.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein, the enriched data comprises meta-tags or metadata of the plurality of objects.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein, the importing or exporting is performed based on automatic or semi-automatic synchronization.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

detecting an edit to an object of the plurality of objects in the web-space;

updating a source object of the object according to the edit.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein, the updating is performed based on user preferences or default settings.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising, generating a tracked set of edits by tracking a set of edits to the object at an adjustable granularity level.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising, providing version tracking of the object using the tracked set of edits.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the tracked set of edits are time-stamped or user-stamped.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein, each edit of the tracked set of edits is weighted based on the associated user-stamp.

13. The method of claim 9, further comprising, enabling a set of versions of the object to be searchable using the tracked set of edits.

14. The method of claim 9, further comprising, presenting at least a portion of the tracked set of edits to a user in branches;

wherein the branches are user modifiable.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising, providing adaptive services suited to a group or users or an individual user based on aggregating detected user behavior in the web-space.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising, using the aggregated detected user behavior to identify system mistakes.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the object of the plurality of objects comprises an object field that is user editable or user definable.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein, the object comprises a user-defined object field;

wherein the user-defined object field is visible to other users and rank-able by other users.

19. A system, comprising:

means for, hosting a web-space having a plurality of objects, the plurality of objects to include one or more of, representations of a set of users, a set of web-items, and a set of nets;

wherein a net of the set of nets is a subset of the web-space comprising a sub-plurality of the plurality of objects;

means for, identifying semantic metadata of the plurality of objects in the web-space; and

means for, generating a portable set of collective knowledge from the plurality of objects; and

means for, enriching the portable set of collective knowledge with enriched data based on the semantic metadata identified from the plurality of objects.

20. The system of claim 19, further comprising:

means for, in response to receiving a request from an administrator user, creating a first net in the web-space;

the user to be designated as having a membership status of an administrative member of the first net;

means for, associating one or more web-items with the first net responsive to a request of the net administrator;

means for, setting membership criteria of the first net governing user association with the first net, the membership criteria to be specifiable by the net administrator;

means for, setting access rights of the web-items in the first net to be one or more of a pre-determined set of tiered access levels, the access rights to be specifiable by the net administrator based on the memberships status of users;

means for, associating a user with the first net, in response to receiving a request from one or more of the net administrator and the user, the request for membership from the user to be granted when in compliance with the membership criteria;

the user to be designated as having a membership status of a member of the first net; and

means for, presenting a web-item of the first net to a requesting party, responsive to a request from the requesting party when in compliance with the access right of the web-item, the requesting party to be one or more of the administrative member, a member, and a visitor of the first net.

21. A machine-readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions which when executed perform a method, comprising:

hosting a web-space having a plurality of objects, the plurality of objects to include one or more of, representations of a set of users, a set of web-items, and a set of nets;

wherein a net of the set of nets is a subset of the web-space comprising a sub-plurality of the plurality of objects;

identifying semantic metadata of the plurality of objects in the web-space; and

generating a portable set of collective knowledge from the plurality of objects.
