Knowledge that keeps its context.

Shared Object Networking

Bill’s Shared Object Networking research explores reusable knowledge objects and the relationships around them. The work considers persistent context, incremental updates, provenance, and distributed retrieval.

The published papers describe an evolving architecture and research direction.

Questions guiding the work

How can an answer remain connected to its evidence? How can useful context survive between tasks? Where should information remain under local control? These questions inform the experiments and architectures under development.
