Abstract

We discuss the requirements for information sharing in a community. We propose the weak information structures to integrate heterogeneous information such as static information (e.g. local sites information) and dynamic information created in word-of-mouth communication. We have developed a system using the weak information structures for community information sharing called InfoCommon and evaluated it at the ICMAS´96 Mobile Assistant Project
