This book introduces the Information Lens system, a prototype designed to aid people in sharing and filtering qualitative information in electronic messaging systems. The system is grounded in the author's studies of how people filter information in organizations and the insights gained from those studies are reflected in the system's design. The system uses a set of semi-structured message types or frames to represent the content of messages, which allows for more sophisticated filtering possibilities than traditional methods. The author argues that the use of these frames, combined with production rules for processing messages, can help people avoid the unsolved problems of natural language understanding and facilitate more effective information sharing. The system is designed to be flexible and extensible, allowing users to gradually increase its helpfulness without being dependent on its ability to perfectly filter all messages. Overall, this book offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of information sharing in organizations and provides a practical tool for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of electronic messaging systems.
