Daniel G. Bobrow is a Research Fellow in the Systems and Practices Laboratory of the Palo Alto Research Center, and Manager of the Scientific and Engineering Reasoning Area. He received his PhD in Artificial Intelligence from MIT, and has over 100 published papers and books about natural language and knowledge-based systems (Student, KRL, GUS), programming languages (Logo, Loops, CLOS), computer-supported collaborative work (Colab, Paper Intermedium), and systems that bring together social and technical design in a single participatory framework (Pueblo, Eureka, RDC). Pueblo was a socio-technical system that used a virtual world (MUD) to extend the power and reach of a Phoenix inner-city school community. Paper Intermedium  allows students, teachers and parents to use paper as an input and output medium for computer-enhanced education activities.

Bobrow's current research interests center around community knowledge systems(CKS) and Reasoning about Document Collections (RDC) . Eureka, one very successful CKS example, supports a community of service technicians in capturing, annotating, sharing and updating knowledge they use and learn in fixing equipment in the field. It is currently used by 20,000 Xerox technicians world-wide. LinkLite, the successor of Eureka, is exploring how to enable community-maintained knowledge sharing in different work settings such as call centers, sales groups, and factories. LinkLite is based on a scalable, distributable, light-weight native XML database, with and extensible XQuery front end that makes it easy to adapt and shape applications to users needs for knowledge sharing.

Reasoning about Document Collections brings together results from natural language research, knowledge representation, and community practices in building technology that leverages knowledge extractable from the text in a domain-focused collection of documents. One application, Knowledge Quality Management (KQM), is directed towards identifying potentially redundant and/or inconsistent tips in the Eureka data base. Other applications work towards finding the contexts in which different statements are made in texts, and encoding knowledge that can answer specific queries.
