About the lab

bootstrapping a Personal first, Decentralized Knowledge Augmentation Engine on the Decentralized (Semantic) Web.
We are close to launching TrailMarks and use it for all our research, articulation and design, and bootstrapping of the system. TrailMarks even in its embryonic form, proves to be invaluable as project comprehension tool, helping us in orchestrating all our efforts, be it customer discovery, building mind share and market share, or our own "customer tech" solution.

This is the first incarnation of the round trip between Google Docs and a Personal Research Knowledge Graph. Roundtrip is at the heart of all the magic of all software.
The paper was submitted tothe Outrageous Ideas track of ISWC 19. https://iswc2019.semanticweb.org/call-for-outrageous-papers/ The reviewer who recommended it for publication described it's level of outrageousness as "game changer", and summarized it as follows: "This is a nicely wacky idea because it goes unashamedly back to the original Ted Nelson dream. It integrates many ideas of Web, Semantic Web, Solid, Memex etc. It could/should do better in acknowledging and citing all these intellectual sources. In a way this is a "back to the future" paper, but kind of nice that this dream is still alive, and that it points to actual tools that try to realise this vision."
This is a rough draft prepared for a Polanyi Society Workshop http://polanyisociety.org/2019pprs/Lajos&Goodman-Augmenting-Tacit-Awareness-6-16-19.pdf as part of Tacit Engagement in the Digital Age 2019 https://cms.mus.cam.ac.uk/conferences/tacit-engagement-in-the-digital-age It provides an epistemological grounding for our subsequent paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334126329_Weaving_a_Decentralized_Semantic_Web_of_Personal_Knowledge We carried out the background research using an early prototype of https://twitter.com/TrailMarks we are bootstrapping with the goal of being able to provide a HyperMap of the territory from which a new version of this could be extracted as a narrative trail
