The design of collaborative representations faces a challenge in integrating theoretical communication models with the context-sensitive and creative practices of human interaction.

These invariants, identif...

This paper describes a media-independent knowledge representation scheme, or content language, for describing the content of communicative goals and actions.

interaction systems engaging in communicative action using a variety of media. There was some interesting discussion about how the resources and constraints of machine communicative partners differ from humanhuman communication. Another important issue was the role of context, which motivated a joint session with the symposium on Context in Knowledge Representation and Natural Language Processi...
