The author wishes to thank the members of the Interspace Prototype team at CANIS, particularly Kevin Powell and William Pottenger, as well as the NCSA Alliance Partner for Information Science, Hsinchun Chen at the University of Arizona. This research was supported by the NSF/DARPA/NASA Digital Libraries Initiative under cooperative agreement IRI-94-11 31 8COOP and by the DARPA Information Management program under contract N660001-97-C-855. NCSA kindly provided special allocations for the indexing simulations during debugging periods of the HP Convex Exemplar and the SGI Origin 2000.

N2 - The Net of the 21st Century will radically transform interaction with knowledge. Users will navigate in the Interspace, across logical spaces of semantic indexes, rather than in the Internet, across physical networks of computer servers. Correlation across indexed collections is the most important feature of this infrastructure. Over ten years of research, the author has developed scalable technology for generating the necessary semantic indexes. Construction of large scale models of the Interspace is feasible now under controlled laboratory conditions. Community repositories for entire scientific disciplines have been constructed using supercomputer simulations on millions of documents. A model Interspace is a set of community repositories, interconnected by concept switching networks to support information analysis across subject domains. CANIS has constructed several model testbeds with increasingly better infrastructure technology. We propose a PACI Interspace for the NSF flagship efforts of the HPDC community. The Interspace would provide concept switching for the users while the Grid would provide object switching for the sources.
