+## Current Knowledge Sharing is very Inefficient

+- _No reliable automatic processing_ for aggregation, question answering, etc.
+- Contributions to scholarly discourse in social media or blogs are _disconnected and not rewarded_

-## Ecosystem of Services
+## The Knowledge Space is ...

+- like a _knowledge graph_ but open, decentralized, and collaborative
+- like the _Semantic Web_ but robust, scalable, and trust-aware
+- like a _blockchain_ but without a chain and with assertions instead of transactions
+- like a _container environment_ (Docker) but for knowledge instead of software
+- (**not** like a _Large Language Model_)

+
+## Knowledge Space Principles
+
+- Everything is communicated in _formal logic_, in a manner that humans can understand and computers can interpret, using a universal and extensible vocabulary
+- Statements are expressed in small _knowledge records_, making each record individually reusable and referenceable
+- ...

+[ **nanopublications:** implementation of _knowledge records_ ]

+
+## Knowledge Space Properties
+
+- _open and inclusive:_ everybody can publish / add servers
+- _detailed provenance:_ source, authorship, workflows, etc.
+- _publish first - worry about quality later:_ decide whether "good enough" at time of use (not time of publication)
+- _bottom up - no central authority:_ who is trusted is community-defined; multiple webs of trust

-- Publishing layer: publish, retrieve, archive knowledge (ID-based lookup)
-- Querying layer: access knowledge (complex queries via SPARQL etc.)
