Abstract:
Database applications enable users to handle the ever-increasing amount and complexity of data, knowledge as well as the dissemination of information to ensure timely response to critical events. However, the very process of human problem solving, which requires understanding and tracking the evolution of data, knowledge, and events, is still handled mostly by human and not by databases and their applications. In this position paper, we propose KIDS as a model that reflects the way human are solving problems. We propose to use KIDS as a blueprint to extend database technologies to manage data, knowledge, directives and events in a coherent, self-evolving way. Our proposal is based on our experience of building database centric applications that require comprehensive interactions among facts, information, events, and knowledge.
