Abstract
A telesophy (literally, 'wisdom at a distance') system provides a uniform set of commands to manipulate knowledge within a community. Such a system can effectively handle large amounts of information over a network by making transparent the data type and physical location. This is accomplished by supporting a uniform information space of units of information. A telesophy system has the potential to be a major use of wide-area broadband networks. The author discusses the model, usage, architecture, and technology of such a system. Experience with a working prototype is described along with future plans.
