Trust in ICT 2

• Investigate the data formats for specific applications (e.g. web application, file, database, 2D/3D
geographical information, anatomy information of human body, composition of texts, image,
symbol, and audio/visual information, etc.);
• Investigate description format and processing methods of data, information, and knowledge
(e.g. pre-processing and post-processing of data with the help of metadata).
– Functional architecture of knowledge information infrastructure:
• Review the existing ICT architecture to handle data, information, and knowledge;
• Investigate the service concepts and principles of the knowledge information infrastructure;
• Investigate the requirements and functional architecture of the knowledge information
infrastructure;
• Identify the use cases and application models of the knowledge information infrastructure;
• Investigate the step-wise deployment scenarios of the knowledge information infrastructure.

– Social media services and technologies for the knowledge information infrastructure:
• Review the existing social media services and technologies;
• Investigate service concepts and principles of social media toward the knowledge society;
• Investigate the definition, requirements, and functional architecture of social media for the
knowledge information infrastructure;
• Investigate the web technologies and web services as a part of social media;
• Investigate how to integrate web services and application software for the knowledge
information infrastructure;
• Investigate the step-wise deployment scenario and roadmap of social media.
– Trust provisioning for knowledge information infrastructure:
• Review the existing security and privacy solutions;
• Investigate service concepts and principles for trust provisioning;

• Investigate the requirements and functional architecture for trust provisioning;
• Investigate the relationship between trust, security, and privacy;
• Investigate the step-wise scenarios of trust provisioning for knowledge information
infrastructure.
Recursive standardization process for knowledge information infrastructure

In summary, Figure 14 may propose the conceptual model for a new standardization process toward the
knowledge information infrastructure. In order to configure a conceptual framework of the knowledge
information infrastructure, three key issues are well identified and analysed: knowledge definition, social
media and the web, and trust provisioning. In the definition of knowledge, the basic concepts of data,
information, and knowledge are specified. The data model and format including metadata are also critical to
make progress. Standardization will take place with a common understanding and a certain consensus of
knowledge, social media, and trust provisioning. However, the recursive process of standardization may be
applicable to reflect some feedbacks from human understanding and the related markets after publishing
standard documents, since knowledge, in nature, has a recursive form of human perception and intelligence.
