Interfaces, interchange formats and data transformations to promote shared, collaborative and distributed knowledge representation and reasoning.
Interfaces and data exchange formats let disparate organisations collaborate in sharing information. Reasoning may also be collaborative; with different agents, be they machine or human, looking at the same problem from different viewpoints and perhaps reaching different conclusions. This means collaborative reasoning must support dialogue and dispute - which is why argumentation features heavily here.
The general principle is to exploit existing methods as much as possible, develop best practice, and demonstrate through worked examples.
