ABSTRACT
Several projects and applications described in this book rely on the use of LispWeb as a dynamic interface to the World Wide Web for intelligent systems. Chapter 11 describes the Internet Software Visualization Laboratory (ISVL), which enables novice and expert programmers to create live broadcasts or recorded movies of their interactions with software visualizations. As expected, LispWeb is also used in some strongly AI oriented applications and collaborative distributed systems. Tadzebao (Chapter 14) uses LispWeb to support both asynchronous and synchronous discussions on design and the architecture of know1edge bases, know as ontologies. The successor of Tadzebao, WebOnto, was designed to support the collaborative browsing, creation and editing of ontologies and to foster the direct manipulation interface displaying ontological expressions using a rich medium. WebOnto was aimed to be easy-to-use, yet have facilities for scaling up to large ontologies.
