Media to externalize some knowledge as knowledge resources for their sharing among people across time and space are generally defined as 'knowledge media'. Distribution of knowledge resources sooner or later forms a huge accumulation of knowledge shared by our society, which activates the reediting and redistribution of knowledge resources, and accelerates their memetic evolution. Meme media are knowledge media with reeding and redistribution functions. Each knowledge consists of its code and mode. The code defines the knowledge itself, while the mode defines the presentation details. For each externalized knowledge, we call its code its genotype, and its external representation including its mode its phenotype. Electronic information media have enabled us to edit multimedia documents through direct manipulation on a WYSIWYG editor. We may consider a similar editor to edit not only multimedia documents but also compound documents with embedded tools and services. The editing denotes the recombination of contents on some medium through direct manipulation. Each recombination of contents should be represented as a phenotype manipulation that defines the corresponding recombination of the genotype representation. In this paper, we will propose a new interpretation of knowledge media and meme media. This will clarify the essential mechanism from the view point of the 'phenotype-genotype mapping'. We will use this interpretation to review the meme media architecture, and to reformulate how the meme-media architecture can be applied to the Web to make it work as a meme pool.

HTML-based interface technologies enable end-users to easily use various remote Web applications. However, it is difficult for endusers to compose new integrated tools of both existing Web applications and legacy local applications such as spreadsheets, chart tools and database. In this paper, the authors propose a new framework where end-users can wrap remote Web applications into visual components called pads, and functionally combine them together through drag & drop-paste operations. The authors use, as the basis, a meme media architecture IntelligentPad that was proposed by the second author. In the IntelligentPad architecture, each visual component called a pad has slots as data I/O ports. By pasting a pad onto another pad users can integrate their functionalities. The framework presented in this paper allows users to visually create a wrapper pad for any Web application by defining HTML nodes within the Web application to work as slots. Examples of such a node include input-forms and text strings on Web pages. Users can directly manipulate both wrapped Web applications and wrapped local legacy tools on their desktop screen to define application linkages among them. Since no programming expertise is required to wrap Web applications or to functionally combine them together, end-users can build new integrated tools of both wrapped Web applications and local legacy applications.

Meme Media for Clipping and Combining Web Resources

Abstract:The publication and reuse of intellectual resources using the Web technologies provide no support for us to clip out any portion of Web pages, to combine them together for their local reuse, nor to publish the newly composed object as a new Web page for its reuse by other people. This paper shows how the meme-media architecture is applied to the Web to provide such support for us. This makes the Web work as a shared repository not only for publishing intellectual resources, but also for their collaborative reediting. We will propose a general framework for clipping arbitrary Web contents as live objects, for defining IO ports on such a clip, and for the recombination and linkage of such clips based on both the original and some user-defined relationships among them. In our previous works, we proposed two separate frameworks for these three purposes; one works for the first two, and the other for the last. Here we will propose a unified framework for these three purposes, as well as its detailed internal mechanisms. Then we show how it can be easily applied to various legacy Web applications to develop innovative services.
