Hi Ed. Great subject.

Our contribution to, and our growing use of the semantic web has come from an entirely different direction. It is based on our aim to move Knowledge Management up a few notches, from the passive “read about it” to the interactive “do it” with wizards assembled from the net on-the-fly.

Our tool, called gStepOne, taps into the world's body of “doing” knowledge – the smartest ways to produce the best outcomes, from the billions of web pages on the net and at “How to” sites like About.com, Answer Universe, Ask.com, Business Balls, ehow, Fluther, Helium, How.com, Hubpages, Knol, Scribd,SnappyFingers, OneRiot, Oondi, Powerset, Wikihow, Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, etc. etc.

Users draw a map of the steps in a task by dragging and dropping shapes onto a page, then linking and naming the steps. gStepOne Googles the web and/or “How to” sites for supporting information, training, pictures, videos, maps, blogs, etc. for each step and generates a wizard.

The wizard, is then available to guide and support others when they need to do the task.

Obviously, the better, the more refined the search, the more suitable the wizard’s guidance and advice. Currently, the links are chosen manually from our search results and are hardwired. While this is quick and powerful, the semantic web work we continue to do aims to speed and automate this process enormously.

Anyone can create a wizard (no programming skills needed) to help deliver a service, sell a house, hire staff, conduct an event, adopt a child, take out insurance, apply for a grant – any task where people need an Assistant to help them do things like an expert, without the expert being there.
