Comprehending collective wisdom in Hall for Workshop of Metasynthetic Engineering based on semantic web

Abstract

In 1992, Prof Qian Xue-sen put forward the relevant theoretical framework of the handling of the "open complex giant system", namely, Hall for Workshop of Metasynthetic Engineering (HWME). The system solves complex problems by fully inspiring collective wisdom. Meanwhile, the whole system consists of the expert system, the machine system and the knowledge system. Therefore, how to realize the mutual communication and understanding between man and man, man and equipment, and man and system is the key to stimulate collective wisdom. This paper presents a semantic network as a bridge for communication between those different parties; analyses understanding process of collective process based on the semantic network, studies the expression method of semantic web knowledge on services and role speaking and finally clarifies formation of consensus of discussion based on the semantic network. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
