The Open University’s Knowledge Media Institute, has produced an enormous number of noteworthy projects. Check out the Hypermedia Discourse project:
Hypermedia Discourse website, a research programme launched in 1995 at the Open University’s Knowledge Media Institute. Our focus is on what we are finding to be a powerful and intruiging intersection: the meeting of Hypermedia and Discourse theory and technology. Our interests are both conceptual, and intensely practical: the co-evolution of digital tools and associated work practices for sensemaking.We hope you find this engaging, and look forward to hearing from you if this sparks ideas for your own work (link).
Also check out their other projects; particularly GlobalArgument.net
And also, ScolOnto (the Scholarly Ontologies Project)
In 2010, will scholarly knowledge still be published solely in prose,
or can we imagine a complementary infrastructure
that is ‘native’ to the internet,
enabling more effective dissemination,
debate, and analysis of ideas?
