  Knowledge Navigator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Knowledge Navigator is a concept described by former Apple Computer CEO John Sculley in his 1987 book, Odyssey.
Some User interface professionals like Ben Shneiderman of the University of Maryland, College Park have also criticized its use of a human likeness for giving a misleading idea of the nature of any interaction with a computer, present or future.
Compared to recent research in the field of ubiquitous computing and augmented reality interfaces many of the aspects of the Knowledge Navigator seem a bit quaint.

 JIME: Stutt & Motta:
Knowledge Charts (such as the several levels of argumentation and scientific controversy in Figures 1-3) differ from standard learning objects in that: they are built using ontologies, they include content (summaries), annotation and associated graphical representations, they have a taxonomy, and, they are used both for navigation (viewed hypertextually) and interpretation (viewed conceptually).
Knowledge Charts reflect the points of view of an individual, a group or a community and as this knowledge may change it will be necessary for the individual or community to update their Knowledge Charts.
Knowledge Neighbourhoods are composed of a variety of spaces: both public (for storing important documents, for debate; for publishing; for visualizing the community) and private (personal notes, calendars).

 blogosphere.us > Apple Knowledge Navigator (January 25, 2004 04:08 PM)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
For a class I'm taking I recently rewatched the Apple Knowledge Navigator video (QT) and was surprised by everything they predicted (or decided would be worthwhile endeavours) back in 1987.
I think the only missing pieces are the fact that we still don't have reasonably accurate voice control (also pointed out by Jon Udell) and maybe a "non-realization" on the part of Apple of the power of asynchronicty in communication.
In the "Knowledge Navigator" future, everyone leaves messages like "we need to talk" or "get back to me," when in the current "actual" future we fire-off emails or make postings to our weblogs and take the discussion outside of the constraints of time.

 The mind - your greatest, creative asset   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Over the next few years systems, procedures and facilities will be put in place to assist the ASLA community of learners in their journey through the knowledge building process, and, through that journey, will engage in elements of the new architecture of learning as knowledge navigators.
Todd’s profile of an ideal ‘knowledge manager’ embraces the visionary who has an understanding of ICTs and how these might be utilized in the KM process, together with an understanding of developing the infrastructure (human and cultural), and being able to facilitate the sharing and renewal.
Knowledge leadership within a professional association such as ASLA is a tall order for one person, hence I would suggest it could potentially engage the whole learning community whereby we draw on the expertise and skill of teacher librarianship.

 Paper InterSymp 95
Galathea is a navigator aimed at guiding designers in the description, mapping and management of the complete decision-making path of projects by means of the dynamical representation of the relationship between goals, constraints and the decisions/actions adopted at specific nodes.
We also view it with the aid of the metaphor of a navigator, or map-maker, (hence the name Galathea), since it enables designers to explore their own personal route which, in the space of possible, or chosen, solutions, leads to the temporary adoption, evaluation, adaptation and final execution of the intended one.
In this view, the tool is a navigator skilled in the exploration and construction of a route (characterised by its being unique and unrepeatable), rather than a driver skilled at choosing the most appropriate previously defined road.
