<title>Visit to MIT</title>
<h1>At M.I.T.</h1>
Whilst at MIT I was the guest of Karen Sollins,
who works at the Lab for Computer Science.
<p>
A number of activities at MIT turned out to
be particularly relevant to W3:-
<dl>
<dt>Information Mesh
<dd>Karen Sollins' project has a lot
in common with W3 in scope, although being a more
research oriented project.
<dt><a href=Library2000/Overview.html>Library 2000</a>
<dd>Jerry Saltzer's project for library systems using
the technology we can expect in 10 year's time;
<dt><a href=TechInfo/Overview.html>MIT TechInfo</a>
<dd>A practical CWIS actually in use at MIT and other sites;
<DT>OVAL
<dd>"Objects, Views, Agents and Links".
A tool for coordiantion of projects, from
Tom Malone at the Sloan School of Management,
allowing user creation of new objects and types.
<DT><a href=CyberMaps/Overview.html>Cybermaps</a>
<dd>Peter Gloor uses lots of CPU time and full-text profile matching to
find related documents and build a web of links where none existed before.

I also took the opportunity of seeing
Brewster Kahle of Thinking Machines Corporation, project leader
of the WAIS project, about which I have some
<a href=Brewster.html>notes</a>.
