Associative sources and agents for zero-input publishing

This paper presents an associative agent that allows seamless navigation from one's own personal space to third-party associative sources, as well as the personal spaces of other users. The agent provides users with access to a dynamically growing list of information sources, all of which follow a common associative sources API that we have defined. The agent also allows users act as sources themselves and take part in peer-to peer knowledge sharing.
