摘要：This paper presents an approach extending semantic similarity measures and Amit Sheth's work on Information Spaces to include non-declarative and non- formalized knowledge. This approach is an extension o f concepts developed b y Tim Berners-Lee and others for a next generation Internet known as the semantic web. Formalized information used by government agency staff will be stored in web accessible databases and shared when permitted over public access. Citizens will share non-formalized local kno wledge in the same semantic web, called the Kentucky Water Information Network (KY-WIN). Diverse representations of formal and non-formalized kno wledge will be made accessible through a gateway that builds and maintains semantic links to various sources. The gateway will be accessed through an interface that supports knowledge discovery and communication in a variety of ways to support multiple activities and grow with use. KY-WIN will help promo te improved citizen/government interactions b y creating a digital and civic infrastructure to integrate various knowledges and contribute to better democratic decision-making
