Abstract

The web, as a new medium for information and knowledge creation, storage, communication, and sharing, offers both opportunities and challenges. By applying the principles of granular computing, we argue that multiple representations and presentations of web content are essential to effective knowledge utilization through the web. The same web content should be represented in many versions and in multiple levels in each version to facilitate informative communication, personalized searches, web exploration, and tailored presentation of retrieval results.
