Objective
The objective of KWICK were to develop a prototype of a system that provides the knowledge worker with the necessary tools to increase his productivity and the quality of his or her work, that enables the collection and surveying of relevant knowledge in a heterogeneous environment. A further objective was to develop a set of demonstrators to illustrate the value of KWICK in real end-user environments.
The objective of the knowledge workers intelligently collecting, coordinating and consulting knowledge (KWICK) project was to develop a prototype of a system that provides the knowledge worker with the necessary tools to increase his productivity and the quality of his or her work, that enables the collection and surveying of relevant knowledge in a heterogeneous environment. A further objective was to develop a set of demonstrators to illustrate the value of KWICK in real end user environments.
Prototypes of a basic KWICK system, an end user application and 3 demonstrators were obtained. The basic KWICK system offers facilities for building customized KWICK system offers facilities for building customized KWICK applications, manipulating KWICK knowledge repositories, and extending the user's environment with foreign applications and repositories.
2 functions of the basic system, linking and navigating, address a key problem for knowledge workers: the collection and surveying of relevant knowledge in a heterogeneous environment. The linking function allows chunks of knowledge, which are relevant for the user, to be related in a hypermedia structure. These chunks can be located in different sources and linking is possible even if these sources do not themselves possess hypertext structures. KWICK's navigating function allows the user to travel through the knowledge structure created.
The basic system is extended by editing facilities and scientific services, provided by 2 basic application components: hyperdocument processor and scientific services. In additon to the basic system an end user application Kwicknotes and 3 KWICK demonstrators, SDOC, intelligent safeguard system and active book, were developed to demonstrate the capabilities of KWICK at prototype level in 3 different end user environments.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
