8 WI may be viewed as applying results from existing disciplines (IT and AI) to a totally new domain. WI introduces new problems and challenges to the established disciplines. WI may be viewed as an enhancement or an extension of IT and AI.

10 2002, In Search of Wisdom Web (Zhong, Liu and Yao) WI explores the fundamental roles as well as practical impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) (e.g., knowledge representation, planning, knowledge discovery, agents, and social intelligence) and Advanced Information Technology (IT) (e.g., wireless networks, ubiquitous devices, social networks, and data/knowledge grids) on the next generation of Web-empowered systems, services, environments, and activities.

38 The ultimate dream of the Intelligent Web. Focuses on knowledge intensive problem solving. Enables user to gain practical wisdom of living, working, learning, and playing. Fundamental question: How to obtain wisdom from knowledge?

39 Top 10 Problems of W4 1. Goal-directed Services (best means/ends) 7. Semantics (relationships) 6. Meta-knowledge (planning control) 5. Coordination (global behavior) 2. Personalization (identity) 4. PSML (representation) 8. Association (roles) 3. Social & psychological context (sensitivity) 10. Self-aggregation (feedback) 9.

41 Electronic commerce. Moore's E-commerce escalator: Website for corporate information, Website for product/service information, Customer support via the Web, Credit card order processing, Web access to order information, Purchase order processing, Web-based marketplaces.

42 From all perspectives, more intelligent entities, functionalities, services, systems are needed with the evolution of the Web,. The notions of intelligence and wisdom will play a crucial role in the development of the Web and Web-based systems. It is important to study the Web, information technology and intelligence related issues in a common research field, namely, Web Intelligence. WI studies the Web from many perspectives.

43

44 A multi-disciplinary study and enquiry for the understanding of the Web and its relationships to us. The Web may be studied from many perspectives: philosophical foundations, theoretical and technical foundations, applications, social impacts
