Our personal knowledge plays a vital role in our daily
intellectual work. This paper proposes a method for acquiring and utilizing
our personal knowledge in computer systems. We developed a system called Mind
Heap that helps us to acquire personal knowledge by browsing WWW (World Wide
Web) hypertexts. Our approach for acquiring a user's personal knowledge is to
use situational context which has important effects for acquiring and
reminding knowledge. Situational context means information which
characterizes her/his situation of information activities. Mind Heap can help
the user to organize knowledge on WWW pages by finding and recording related
words as situational context for topics specified by the user. The system
extracts a list of related words as situational context, and records it with
the topics. Thus, topics and their contexts are accumulated,then they can
work as knowledge for the user,e.g.,she/he can retrieve pages of which
situation is similar to the current page.
