摘要:We propose to convert today’s Internet into an Intelligent Internet that can be easily used by all people – literate, semi-literate and illiterate – in much more useful, effective and valuable ways. E.g. if we type “how many students graduated from Stanford University in Computer Science in 2012?” in any search engine today, the results will be things like “Stanford university Palo Alto; Stanford university campus; computer science at Stanford etc etc”. The real answer will not be there as the question was not understood to begin with let alone figuring out the answer. In order to get the correct answer, we need two broad parts from technical standpoint: one is natural language based interface that clearly understands user’s requests, and the other one is an engine that can take necessary actions & provide the most appropriate answer. Speaking boldly, we are talking about a robust Question & Answer (Q & A) system with a very large domain. Handling of such a large domain is possible through a Semantic Engine. We have applied the Intelligent Internet (IINT) concept for farmers as the need to provide the benefits of the Information Age to farmers, the major segment of the Base of the Pyramid people (BOP), is very important from various aspects including their survivability, Economic, Social, Cultural and other developments, and minimizing the Digital Divide & Rich-Poor gap. Since many farmers are illiterate, live in rural areas where Internet Access is limited, and cannot easily afford high end mobile devices, existing methods have severe limitations in providing the benefits of the Information Age to such population. We describe a practical affordable solution using IINT applied to a Farming Mega Portal (FMP) that can be accessed from any phone using user’s voice and natural language. Our approach includes information access, interaction, e-Learning, transaction and social network aspect so that farmers can effectively use FMP to improve & increase food production and minimize food waste. We emphasize on Innovation and Entrepreneurship for farmers to ensure immediate and sustainable significant impact on Economic, Social and Cultural & other developments, along with creation of an enormous “Resource ”. The IINT will take the Internet to a new level and will allow existing as well as significant number of new users to enjoy the existing and various new benefits of the Internet, and affect their lives in a positive way with Economic, Social, Cultural and other developments globally.
