Building 20 Memories: Agent-Assisted Hypertext for Capturing Community History

This project helps a community tell its collective story through collaborative hypertext. Members of the community contribute many short anecdotes, and the system helps identify relationships of times, people, places, etc. The relationships are used to present the scattered memories of many people in a logical fashion and to elicit contributions of further memories. Our first prototype, Building 20 Memories, is specialized for the people who worked in the famous MIT Building 20.
