4i (for eye) technology - Intelligent interface for integrated information
Next generation of integration systems will utilize different methods and techniques to achieve the vision of ubiquitous knowledge: Semantic Web and Web Services, Agent Technologies and Mobility. Nowadays, unlimited interoperability and collaboration are the important things for industry, business, education and research, health and wellness, and other areas of people life. All the parties in a collaboration process have to share data as well as information about actions they are performing. Development of Global Understanding eNvironment (GUN) (Kaykova et al., 2005), which would support interoperation between all the resources (GUN-Resources) and exchange of shared information, is a very profit-promising and challenging task. And generally, a graphical user interface, that helps to perform this interoperation and collaboration processes in handy and easy for human/expert way, is one of the important things in a process performing, and creation. Following new technological trends, it is time to start a new stage in user visual interface development - a stage of semantic-based context-dependent multidimensional resource visualization. Presented 4i technology is a step to achieve this goal.
