Abstract
In a discussion concerning the future of the library, Minsky and Feigenbaum endorsed the idea for books to ‘talk to each other’. Creating knowledge or doing inference by connecting related documents is an important aspect of undiscovered public knowledge, an important concept initiated by Swanson. However, so far few computer models exist in this regard. In this paper, we describe such a model which connects documents. We first explain the meaning of integration of scientific texts by connecting documents. Our fundamental idea is then illustrated by an example and further described by a model. Some features of this model are discussed. A brief comparison with some other computer models is also provided.Keywords
